Well - not on my *wildest* dreams, no :-) But in some of my more modest dreams a draft RFC has appeared allowing the distribution of source and destination address preferences via DHCPv6. In my dream, it even has a name: draft-ietf-6man-addr-select-opt-08 Not a solution for SLAAC, though I suppose a similar extension would be possible in SLAAC. If you run a standard operating environment, the fact that source and destination address preferences are configurable means you can put it in your SOE right now.
