This endless route lookup miss message problem is reproducible without FLOWTABLE. 
The problem is with the multiple FIBs. I cannot reproduce this problem in my home network 
but the problem is easily seen at work.

The route lookup miss itself in multi-FIBs configuration may be normal depending on 
the actual system configuration. It's the flooding of RTM_MISS messages that is abnormal.
For example, if the route to the DNS servers is not configured in all FIBs, then the RTM_MISS 
message will be generated when an userland application sends to an explicit IP address
in a specific FIB.

In any case, I can reproduce the issue consistently and just trying to get a few uninterrupted 
hours to get it done.

I'm unable to reproduce an issue on (nearly) GENERIC 8-S, but I see
nearly the same situation on 8.1-S box with FLOWTABLE enabled.

Do you have FLOWTABLE option in your kernel config ?
