Not a huge ISP but I certainly build my access list and route-maps (and 
the equivalent Procket policy stuff) using RtConfig with no other magic 
involved. In my previous job at one of Australia's tier ones we did it 
that way too. See AS7575 (current policy) and/or AS2764 (previous one) 
for outrageous aut-num objects. I don't use inet-rtr objects though.

Personally I don't think driving RtConfig is all that difficult.

Mark.
