This works well for storing mode where one expects that all 6LR are pretty
much equivalently capable.

For Non-Storing Mode, it could be that only the LBR (and it's redundant
backup...), are capable of accepting the DAOs, maintaining that table and
generating the right routing headers.

Perhaps this is where the gap lies.
