I guess you have not used the RAToolSet from ISI/Merit. I just
extracted the list of prefixes for AS-DEMOS and it took less than 10
seconds using peval. I piped this into a simple Perl script to convert 
it into an access list and had the list ready to load in under 15
seconds. 

Or am I totally missing something here?
