I must be missing something - why would a LAG of any type do any special 
processing of ND (or ARP, for that matter) traffic? All it has to do is 
forward the reply appropriately e.g. across the MC-LAG control link if 
the dest MAC is the peer switch or multi/broadcast.

Obviously if you're doing some sort of active-active L3 forwarding on 
top of the MC-LAG then special things need to happen - but did OP say that?

Or is there some subtlety (dumb-lety?) about the way Juniper do this?
