Everything works fine, but if we switch the slave doing

# ifenslave -c bond0 eth3

the incoming ping6 to this host stops for up to several minutes (waiting until 
the switch updates its caches).

We _just_ put in an IPv6 fix, FWIW...

	The fix that just went in has to do with traffic balancing in
alb/tlb modes; this problem has to do with the lack of an IPv6
equivalent to a gratuitous ARP during a user-induced failover.

	I'm looking into this; it might be simple to fix.
