Hello fellow moron :)

I have a general question:

I see some comments around unifying route caches, but in this
particular case it seems related to ipv6. Is this an ipv6 problem or a
general problem? I have a -current machine and it's not likely to
encounter this particular scenario (sorry, heh), but wondering anyway.

I'm not sure of what kind of flood of traffic was seen at the -current
box (tcpdump wasn't being helpful) but I kind of doubt it was IPv6 only.
But who knows? My guess is that there is IPv6 routing traffic mixed in
with a whole lot of garbage from my switch.
