I don't know what most ISPs are doing. I couldn't get IPv6 via Comcast (or whatever they're called this week) working with OpenWRT (probably my fault, and I didn't really need it). So I never figured out if the IPv6 address I was getting was static or not. There is DHPCv6 (I've implemented it), but I have no idea if anybody actually uses it. Even if they are using DHCPv6, they can be using it to hand out static addresses. > Mine certainly are. The assumption always seemed to be that switching to IPv6 meant the end of NAT and the end of dynamic addresses. -- Grant
