Jake,

Thanks to Bertrand Duvivier and his team, Cisco implemented pretty awesome
multi-view RS functionality into XE.  Cisco claim that it scales to
millions of prefixes with low thousands of peers.  While I haven't seen a
large configuration like this in real life, considering the scaling
difficulty of this problem (which you're intimately aware of), if they can
pull this off I will take my hat off to the author of the code.
