that's a bit nonspecific - I'm not sure from your description where the
problem actually is.  OpenBGPD will probably barf with huge filter lists,
as will mainline quagga.  Both BIRD and euro-ix quagga should be able to
handle them without any major trouble.  For sure, both bgpq3 and irrtoolset
have no problems with massive filter lists, even if irrtoolset is abysmally
slow.

It would be better to disable prefix filtering for those clients rather
than putting in les hacques to work around brokenness on third party software,
