There's a caveat to using 2002:FOO (where FOO is in private address space). If any implementation in the network has 6to4 pseudo-interface enabled, the packets it sends in that network will be blackholed. Not necessarily a bad thing, but one has to be careful when proclaiming it as a solution. -- Pekka Savola "You each name yourselves king, yet the Netcore Oy kingdom bleeds." Systems. Networks.
