DNS server addresses should be short and easy to tape, as already mentioned. > 2) Are we tending to use different IPs for each service on a device? In many cases yes - because that makes it possible to easily move the service to a different box. > Finally, what tools do people find themselves using to manage IPv6 and > addressing?

At least as long as you use static addresses. We like static, and tend to stay away from SLAAC. We do *not* use EUI-64 for router links. For customer links we use /64, for backbone links we use /124 (ensures that SLAAC can never ever be used on the link, and also that the two ends can be numbered ending in 1 and 2 - nice and simple).
