We have it listed as an ordinary peer e.g. 
https://www.peeringdb.com/net/3789

More information might be useful, but there is always special config for 
route-servers - e.g. no bgp enforce first-as, higher max-pfx, policy 
etc.

Maybe an IXP could have a field listing route-server AS, and then any IP 
attached to that AS can be assumed to be a RS?
