  Hi Michael,
    Yes, this should work (and had been working).   However, we recently moved
the RADB whois service behind haproxy and there appears to have been some
miscommunication with about which IRRd version was to be used on the backend.
We are working on restoring the functionality.  Thanks for bringing up this issue.

Here's a question. Based on my reading of section 5.3 of RFC 2622, ASNs or
as-sets can be members of route-sets, as in

route-set: AS5050:RS-INTERNET2
descr: Routes sourced to Internet2 by AS5050
members: AS5050:AS-ABILENE-ONLY, AS5050:AS-I1-ABILENE
members: AS5050:RS-3ROX-CORE-I2-ELIGIBLE
tech-c: PN-ORG-ARIN
mnt-by: MAINT-AS5050
changed: 20120502
changed: 20120523
changed: 20150223
source: RADB

However, when I evaluate this object with bgpq3, peval or even Level3's filtergen or
"whois -m -- \!ias5050:rs-internet2,1", only the route-set member is being
expanded. Am I misinterpreting the RFC, or are the tools not correctly implementing
it? I suspect the former, but the RFC seems pretty explicit.
