G'day SLUG, I'm a small-time WordPress hacker, Linux user, and Cert IV IT student that has recently got interested in IPv6. Currently, I'm setting up (read: breaking) our home network with some random address space I've stolen by making up the numbers. Obviously, our home network is non-routable

ask on WhirlPool. I think getting your own addresses for permanent use will be expensive and likely technically unfeasible, but you should be able to get an ISP to sort you out with some. I know Internode's network is fully IPv6 compliant, but not everyone's is, so if you're looking to route to

If you only want internal addresses you could use a random /48 out fd00::5 (see rfc4193). Oops, its /8. -- Christopher Vance -- SLUG - Sydney Linux User's Group Mailing List - http://slug.org.au/ Subscription info and FAQs: http://slug.org.au/faq/mailinglists.html
