[j-nsp] apply-paths and address families

[Andrew Gallo]

Greetings:

Question about how folks are handling apply-paths with mixed v4 and v6 
addresses.  Specifically, if I want to use apply-paths to match all the 
BGP neighbors configured, is the best practice to use a protocol 
specific regex, or just match all neighbors?  Does it matter if I match 
a v6 address and use the prefix list in a v4 firewall filter?

I have three different apply-paths, one that matches v4 neighbors, one 
v6 neighbors, and one all neighbors: prefix-list pf_BGP-IPV4 {     
apply-path "protocols bgp group <*> neighbor <*[.]*>"; } prefix-list 
pf_BGP-IPV6 {     apply-path "protocols bgp group <*> neighbor <*[:]*>"; 
} prefix-list pf_BGP-all {     apply-path "protocols bgp group <*> 
neighbor <*>"; }

I can use pf_BGP-all in a filter in a family inet filter and a family 
inet6 filter.

My question is- does it matter that a v6 address is in a prefix list in 
a v4 filter?

Thank you.
