Okay, I have added more detail to the documentation here:

https://docs.ixpmanager.org/features/route-servers/#displaying-filtered-prefixes

Can you see if all the conditions are met? Also, when you say you can
see these "filtered prefixes from my looking glass", I trust you mean
the built in looking glass within IXP Manager?

Yes, this is the only area of IXP Manager that requires a persistent
cache currently. This is to facilitate job dispatching in the future as
IXP Manager implements more provisioning functionality.

Added a note about this to the docs referenced above also.
