BGP AS-PATH Questions

Well,

I seem to be posting a lot of questions today, but I've got to travel down
to Brussels tommorrow in preparation for the lab on Thurs, and I'm running
through a bunch of final configs covering things I am a bit unsure of.

This time it's BGP AS-PATH in route-maps

I've got the following BGP entry (among others):

*> 172.168.70.0/24 137.20.68.6 66 0 2 3 i

What I wanted to do was to modify all BGP entries that came from the router
in AS3 to set the MED to 66.

My initial attempt at this was as follows:

router bgp 1
 neighbor 137.20.68.6 remote-as 2
 neighbor 137.20.68.6 route-map test-as-path in
!
ip as-path access-list 1 permit ^3_
ip as-path access-list 2 permit .*
!
route-map test-as-path permit 10
 match as-path 1
 set metric 66
!
route-map test-as-path permit 20
 match as-path 2

I thought that this would pick up all BGP entries originating from AS 3.
This did not work (presumably because of the 'i' in front of the 3 in the AS
path), so I changes the access-list 1 as follows:

ip as-path access-list 1 permit _3_

I'd like to check that this is in fact the best way to do it, as what I
think this is saying is to affect any routes that pass through AS 3. What
would I use to restrict this to routes originating from AS 3 ?

Regards,

Derek...
