From memory there's a protocol which the registry dbs can use to send
updates between each other.

This is how mirror each other (eg why you can do a whois on
whois.radb.net and have RIPE, CW / MCI, AUNIC, etc objects floating about..)

It'd be kinda stupid for everyone who runs a local registry in order to
generate routing policies quickly to need to download a few 20mb files
every hour/day :-)

There's documentation for the ripedb on the ripe website. I don't remember
the URL off hand.
