ROFL... Yeah, right... Because the MAC suffix won't do anything.

Did I mention I haven't implemented v6 yet? :-)

*Really*?  It bakes the endpoint MAC into the IP?  Well, that's miserably

The vast majority of people use Windows as an OS and Windows defaults to using RFC 4941 privacy extensions. I *think* 
it changes it address every two hours.
