ten years ago I've fooled around with various Unixen (FreeBSD, Debian,
Solaris) with this.  I don't remember off the head if this was using the
router lifetime field from the RAs or NUD or both, but it did work quite
reasonably.  IIRC I managed to get the failover time down to around 5s,
which is still a lot for VoIP, but pretty reasonable for a lot of other
purposes---like TCP standard retransmit intervals, for example:-)
