Hi Brian,
Thanks a lot for you post. I missed u lately.
^(\(.*\))?$
Waaw...what an Irregular expression:)
i would read it as follows...(correct me if read it mistakenly)
all as-paths that starts with ( and includes anything and ends with ) and repeated ONE or more times!!!
I think it is typically what i need.
But i got this expressoin form the group too. I think it looks simpler. and i guess that it does the same function.
^$ | \)$
^$ = local originated
\)$= in any other subAS
what is yr opnion?
Thanks
SAM

 I'm not sure how you would keep some routers inside your AS
confederated and some not... instead what you need is an expression
that
will match locally originated routes as well as those from your
confederation peers. This will do the trick:
^(\(.*\))?$
