Jim,

you'd do much better to move this to cisco-nsp at puck.nether.net.  It's more
of a specialised 6500 problem than a general ipv6 issue, and there are some
people on that mailing list who are pretty clued in about the peculiarities
of the sup720.

Sounds like traffic is definitely being punted.  You can check this out by
attaching an ERSPAN session to the RP:
