Skeeve,

>From memory pacnet are big fans of the info in radb.net for filtering
purposes... i was going to suggest updating your objects to reflect that
pacnet's customer is no longer an upstream... but then i checked it:

[root at vhost1 ~]# whois 180.189.136.0 at whois.radb.net
[Querying whois.radb.net]
[whois.radb.net]
route:      180.189.136.0/22
descr:      PACNET (proxy-registered route object)
origin:     AS45914
remarks:    This route object is for a PACNET customer route which is
                   being exported under this origin AS.
                   +
                   This route object was created because no existing route
                   object with the same origin was found, and since some
                   ANC peers filter based on these objects this route
                   may be rejected if this object is not created.
                   +
                   Please contact abuse at pacnet.net if you have any
            Concerns regarding Spam/Abuses related to this object
                   +
                   Please contact ip-noc at pacnet.net if you have any other
                   Questions regarding this object.

Seems you might have to ask pacnet to update it as they created the objects
on behalf of your client's old upstream.

If the AFP don't give any joy perhaps an e-mail from Alumina, stating that
as the origin AS for the above netblock (as per pacnet's own proxy
registered object) you request they stop accepting the following route from
their customer as they are falsely advertising the route with the origin as
themselves (AS23871):

BGP routing table entry for 180.189.136.0/24, version 112823

Good luck.
