Zebra is a great option here, I use it to eat a routing table from production routers, peer a perl Net::BGP daemon with it, and then do SQL injections from there to instruct my netflow engine on baseline subnetting for external networks, as well as provide AS clue for non-AS aware netflow export segments.

If you just want to play with BGP stuff, you can use Zebra (unix) or go to www.nantech.com and get their BGP4WIN program.
That may help you a bit more.

I'm trying to come up with a way to get a full BGP routing table in to my lab. I'm not really fussed about keeping it up to date, so a snapshot is fine. At the moment, I'm thinking about spending a few hours hacking together a BGP daemon in perl to peer with and record a table from a production router, disconnect, and then start peering with lab routers.
Am I reinventing a wheel here?
