Problem still exists where p33p1 is getting SLAAC addresses.

When this occurs, there are no RTR-ADVERT syslog messages for the 
network now on p33p1.  Sometimes it is only one and other times it is 
both net6 and net8,  I doubt that this would happen with DHCPv6 because 
there has to be a server out there actually servicing that network.

I will keep poking around.
