I've never seen anyone actually using RtConfig output for anything else then destilling prefix/aspath lists from them in order to use those in own generator tools. Given my own very basic and short playing with RtConfig, I can somewhat understand why.
It would make countless lives much easier if it were possible to submit a query to the db that gives back the desired output rather than having to use these very complex tools.
Agreed, IRRd actually offers that.
Hmm, that's interesting. Last time I checked the RIPE server provided the same features (except for route-set expansion, mainly due to the fact that when rpsl was defined it was not entirely clear how the expansion was to be performed). To the best of my recollection no one has ever manifested interest in having the RIPE server do that. Joao
