Gaak.
The guys at http://www.cidr-report.org are only showing 130K or so prefixes in the global routing table (and estimate that it could be kicked down to 90K or so with better CIDR aggregation.
I won't ask what sort of totally martian network design is leading to a routing table of millions of entries - even the "stick PMTU info into a host route" trick should expire routes to hosts you're not talking to, and you're probably going to be wanting a load balancer if you're talking to hundreds of thousands of machines at the same time.....
