This may be true on the 6500/7600. It's definitely not true on for
instance 3550/3560/3750, where you need an explicit "ip routing" for
the box to perform IP forwarding.

Seems reasonable for the 6500/7600, but quite *un*reasonable for boxes
like 3550/3560/3750 given the default of "no ip routing".
