Dear David,

I'm in the exact same case. I have started seeing those exact IPv6 CAM error 
related messages 3 weeks ago. Interestingly enough, only getting those for MLXe 
boxes and not CER-RT.

I'm running 5.7e and about to upgrade to 5.8e.

If memory serves right, I think I read something in some release notes (or 
other documentation) about a special feature/profil that would accomodate CAM 
for 1 VRF. I can't seem to recall which, so I'd invite you to read the 
litterature.

Also, IIRC, I think I read That someone put up an RFE for this following your 
thread two years ago.

Best regards.
