I have the goal. I am not a political fan of ULAs, I would prefer a space of Non-Connected Networks addressing, including perhaps Tony Hain's GeoIP. (http://datatracker.ietf.org/doc/draft-hain-ipv6-geo-addr/ ), but I can live with ULA. Given ULA, the problem of connecting Jose and Jorge, is not a job for DHCP or PD, but rather of a routing problem. You can apply babel, OLSLR, OSPC AHCP, etc. to the problem. I see no reason to ever want NPT66. Dave> The other day I sat, in disbelief, in a a room with several students, Dave> when they all had git trees of the project, and the internet Dave> was down .
