Hi Rene, GS,
it seems to work quite erratically:

re1>show ip bgp regexp _174(_[0-9]+)*\1*$
.....
*>i24.73.165.0/24 213.46.161.250 0 250 0 174 33363 i
*>i24.73.234.0/24 213.46.161.250 0 250 0 174 33363
33363 i
*>i24.75.137.0/24 213.46.161.250 0 250 0 174 174 174
174 16810 30299 30299 30299 30299 30299 30299 30299 i
*>i24.75.140.0/24 213.46.161.250 0 250 0 174 174 174
174 16810 32425 i
....

Look at the last one !!

Luca.
