rspan works by transmitting traffic across vlans which have mac learning
disabled, so therefore they unicast-flood all traffic across all ports
in the vlan.  If you're transmitting this traffic across multiple
switches, you need to make sure that the intermediate switches have mac
learning disabled on the rspan vlan, or else that they're configured as
rspan-specific vlans.
