The address never went away, and I don't think we have a route to ::1.
Playing with this a little more if I delete the address and then bounce
the interface ping ::1 works again. So something is just not getting
reinitialized.
Unfortunately I don't see anything obvious. I'm still scratching my

Agreed. I don't have problems on 2.6.33 either, but because of overload
I haven't been doing regular testing of the kernels inbetween.
