Sounds like a special case of a route-server to me. You need a bgp session
to the hardware based router where you forward the routes to. If you use
iBGP between the two servers the bgp attributes should not be altered and
you may end up with a working solution. It is a hack and needs most peers
to use multihop bgp to get to your bgpd box.

 Hi,
 
 Could I rewrite as-paths in bgpd? I.e. if I have an incoming as-path
 like this:
 
 1 2 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 3 4 
 
 and would like for some reason to rewrite it like: 1 2 3 4, or 
 1 2 3 3 4, can I do this? 
 

No. You're not allowed to change path elements. You're only allowed to
prepend elements. Adding such an option would break bgp routing on a
global scale.
