Hello Peter,

It looks like this network is indeed not part of the database:

However, it is part of the routing table that we are receiving and it is being imported into the PostgreSQL database.

I currently don’t have any time to debug this any further, so I am rolling back the release on the server that is generating the database.

Please put a bug report together on this so that we won’t forget to investigate this in the future.

Best,
-Michael
