/48 is massive overkill - RA only works with a /64 anyway (radvd fails if you pass it anything else, a cisco will just ignore you) so you're basically throwing 16 bits of useful address space away. It sounds like the ipv6 people are making exactly the same mistake that ipv4 made in the early days - giving away massive blocks that remain mostly unused. Sure, they've got more to play with, but it's not *that* much more - the top 2 bits are used for other stuff (so the default route is always 2000::/3 not 0::/0), so you only have 46 bits left.. only 16,384 times the space available for ipv4. >> (with dns of course you also can't register an ipv6 address with the >> root nameservers anyway so you'll never get ipv6 dns queries in the >> normal course of events). > > Various TLDs support IPv6 glue now. > As far as I know .com and .org don't, at least none of the resellers allow it on their webforms. I did a search on it and found lots of references to ipv8 and ipv16!!! So it looks like in a few years we'll have to start all this bul....t again.
