As-Path filtering based on ranges, not regex

Vincent,

    I'm fairly certain it can match a range, just as you yourself posted you
could do. There is no difference between using a range to find 0-9, than
there is finding 64512-65535. So your line would look something like this:

    ip as-path access-list 150 permit _[64512-65535]$
