Albert, There is not that oid, ietf is working on it, you could take a look at irr wg web for information.
Why do you think "LookingGlass" needs bgp table? they don't, looking glass normally just runs script against the routers and spits out the result to you. Back to your question, it should be politically acceptable from a router at your side to establish a bgp session to them, you can then locally run your script. They can set up filter at their bgp router not listening anything from your router. I do not see how this should cause them any problem, better than snmpwalk the 120k table just to get a number. It should be pretty scalable, you could use one router to set up many sessions, just put more memory on it, kind of like a router server.
