You need globally unique addresses for that.  Ask your LIR/RIR, and
you'll get them.

IPv6 is no real help because it's unlikely that we'll see that central
ULA registry in the forseeable future.

On that note, does anyone have any idea what the status of IPv6
support is?  (I know about the old patches for 2.0, but they haven't
been updated in over a year, and I can't find where anyone has
forward-ported them to 2.1.)
