Did they ask you to update RADB or IRR entries? Many times these are used to build prefix lists for customers at some ISPs, and they get updated periodically (basically a CRON job). Typically, stuff like RTConfig is used for this, or home-grown Perl scripts. There can sometimes be a delay in getting this pushed out (maybe the script died?)
