What I should've added there is to use the mask assignment for the
switching-based Cisco kit - so 6500 and 7600 at the very least;
maybe later revisions of the 4500 speak it now. Cisco 3550 switches
speak L2 redirection but not mask assignment. No concrete idea on
the 3560/3750 switches but I suspect they'll use hash assignment
for now rather than mask assignment.
