What exactly are you attempting to do here? Those announcements will get dropped on the floor at least in this AS right away: route-map peers-in deny 5 match as-path 109 ip as-path access-list 109 permit ^[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+_[0-9]+ How does announcing ridiculously long as-paths help anyone, if anything we should be educating people that childishly long chains of prepends will not do what they want (presumably make more of a difference in traffic flows, which isn't going to work beyond a small number of prepends, as whats left is people localpreffing).
