you need to run the "compare-route-server-prefixes.pl" script on one of 
the route servers.  This is located in the tools/runtime/route-servers/ 
directory. You should only run this script on a single route server, so 
if you have multiple route servers, do not enable it on all of them - 
only one.

You'll need to modify this script at all locations with the text 
"XXX-SET-ME".

This is badly documented because at some stage in the future, we're 
going to change it completely and use the Birdseye API to access route 
server.

Using this script will also enable the prefix analysis tool.
