Ummm, isn't the whole point of the mnt-irt: that it works "downstream",
so you don't *have* to put it on all 2800 inet6num entries, but just
on the /32 or /40 allocations?

But even so: compared to the total number of IPv6 addresses covered
by the /32s allocated right now, your mnt-irt:s on a handful of /40s
are a good start but won't make a big numerical impact...
