Ever since Cisco came out with "IPv6 Routing Header Vulnerability" in 2007
http://www.cisco.com/en/US/products/products_security_advisory09186a00807cb0fd.shtml

I have had the following enabled:

On the protected interface:
ipv6 traffic-filter filter-rh in

ipv6 access-list filter-rh
  deny ipv6 any any log routing
  permit ipv6 any any

and have stopped many pkts that way.  I still occasionally see hits in our 
log from all sorts of newbies who continue to try old bugs.
