Go complain to your application vendor. Some vendors have already fixed this problem with their applications.The question was about *enterprise* deployment, which raises two issues: 1) most vendors are waiting for customer IPv6 demand before implementing support (or fixing bugs) - chicken and egg problem.
This is not a IPv6 bug. The bug is present in IPv4 only networks. It is a bug in the applications multi-homing support. Adding IPv6 just makes every destination multi-homed. Just think about how much money has already been spent to work around this bug.
2) I don't know many enterprises running production software less than a year (or more) old. In the meantime, the network engineers struggling with this stuff need workarounds (like the tuning parameters you and others have mentioned). -- Harald
