This sort of thing is pretty hairy. It's possible to do, but because cisco implemented their own variant of regular expressions, you will need to find a cisco-specific regexp optimiser. If you can't find this, then you will in theory need to write a cisco-regexp to nondeterministic finite state automata converter. Once you've converted to a FSA, you can play around with standard tools and then convert back again. No idea if there is any code out there which will do this automatically, but there are plenty of standard (i.e. perl) regexp optimisation libs available on the net.
