Ok, when running NetworkManager-0.9.9.0-22.git20131003.fc20.x86_64 default 
route changes
when the lifetime of a (dead) route has expired. Unfortunately that doesn't 
help much
since old routes to specific hosts seems to be stuck in the kernel (at least 
when using ping6), 
like this:

  2a00:1450:4005:808::1011 via fe80::64:1ff:fe00:2 dev eth0  proto static  
metric 1 
  2a00:1450:4005:808::1013 via fe80::13:10ff:fe07:1158 dev eth0  proto static  
metric 1 
  2a00:1450:4005:808::1014 via fe80::13:12ff:fe10:1311 dev eth0  proto static  
metric 1 
  default via fe80::13:10ff:fe07:1158 dev eth0  proto static  metric 1024 


Where 2a00:1450:400f:800::XXXX are different incarnations of www.google.com. 

Could keepalived (VRRP) be a solution? What is everyone else using?
