I would say rather that there is no way to immediately expire a
prefix in the hosts unless *the hosts* ignore the addrconf spec's
anti-DOS rules. But you can keep advertising a, say, 10 minute
lifetime and eventually hosts will get their own lifetimes for that
prefix down to that value. I don't see how this may be part of a
multi6 solution so perhaps we should drop the thread. (Or at least
set its preferred lifetime to two hours.)
