We've been running ipv6 for a year or so now, but some of our newer
instances (all on an ESX cluster) are not working. It looks like it's
all of our Centos 6 instances. I'm hoping someone can point me in the
right direction...
tshark indicates that it's neighbor discovery that's failing:

tshark for that ping:

Running as user "root" and group "root". This could be dangerous.
