Yes this is x86_64 kernel
i kernels  2.6.32.2 /  2.6.32.7 and now 2.6.33-rc6-git5 and on all 
kernels the same thing happens.
grep . /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/*
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/error_burst:1250
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/error_cost:250
grep: /proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/flush: Permission denied
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_elasticity:2
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_interval:2
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_min_interval:0
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_min_interval_ms:500
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_thresh:65535
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/gc_timeout:300
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/max_size:524288
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/min_adv_mss:256
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/min_pmtu:552
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/mtu_expires:600
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/redirect_load:5
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/redirect_number:9
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/redirect_silence:5120
/proc/sys/net/ipv4/route/secret_interval:2

This happens not all the time.
I have this info only when there are "internet rush hours" - thn there 
is about 700Mbit/s TX + 700Mbit/s RX forwarded traffic
