You want to allow for more than one for obvious fault isolation and load 
balancing reasons.  The draft suggested using <prefix>:FFFF::1 I 
personally would suggest getting a well known ULA-C allocation assigned 
to IANA, then use <prefix>::<protocol assignment>:1 <prefix>::<protocol 
assignment>:2 and <prefix>::<protocol assignment>:3, where <protocol 
assignment> could be "0035" for DNS, and "007b" for NTP, and if you're 
feeling adventurous you could use "0019" for outgoing SMTP relay.

Exactly, seems easy, straight forward, robust, reliable and allows for 
things like fate sharing and fail over.
