Subject: Routinator repository blacklisted


Hello,



We have been using Routinator as RPKI ROA proxy for several months now. 
Recently we noticed that the following sites, which are listed amongst 
Routinator’s repositories, have been blacklisted on Gremlins, and access to 
them is being blocked by our Spamhaus RPZ:



rpki-rrdp.mnihyc.com

rpki-rsync.mnihyc.com



They are currently being blocked approximately 1000 times per day.



List of Blacklists:

List:  DRBL vote node gremlin.ru  Host:  vote.drbl.gremlin.ru  Rating:  3

List:  DRBL work node gremlin.ru  Host:  work.drbl.gremlin.ru  Rating:  3



Apparently this has been happening on and off for at least six months.



Has anyone else run into that? Are these sites trustworthy? And more broadly, 
how is the Repositories’ security posture validated? In our experience the 
Spamhaus feed has a very low false-positive count, so for now we’re treating 
this as a threat and blocking it. If a site is compromised, is there a way to 
drop it from the list of Repositories, so that Routinator doesn’t send 1000s of 
unnecessary requests daily?



Thanks in advance for any advice on this matter!
