Then why for Christ's sake do they look at the Destination MAC two MPLS labels
deep.

The fix for this issue is to disable load-balancing based on MPLS payload and I doubt
you can't turn it off because of HW limitations.

Why would anyone expect load-balancing based on MPLS payload in a Layer 2
switch that doesn't support MPLS in the first place?


"Clever middleboxes", that one will always be a terrific idea ...
