Checking the code:
https://gitlab.nic.cz/labs/bird/-/blob/master/proto/rpki/rpki.c#L279

Seems like it.

Instead heavily suggest running 2 stayrtr instances yourself. What if you lose connectivity to the outside world?


For AS57777 I generate IRR data rpki-client and rsync rpki-client.json every 10 minutes to my 2 stayrtr instances.

If the rpki-client hosts goes down, then they do not update the rpki-client.json as there is no new one, but stayrtr stays up and running.

If I upgrade stayrtr, there is always the second one up and running. Scale to more nodes for more resiliency :).


On top I run another set of stayrtr instances for IRR data, need to write that down still how that setup now finally works.
