[c-nsp] old 6509 trying to drive me insane :-)

[Joe Pruett]

it won't be doing much v6 for now. i imagine that by the time the volume
is high enough, i'll be able to upgrade to a better sup. will the 720 do
hardware ipv6 forwarding? as usual, the ipv6 stuff i found at cisco
about the 6500 didn't mention anything about hardware support being
slightly different.
