I guess I won't need to add routes to my gateway, only subnetting on the
inside will probably do for the time being (a hub/spoke topology,
routing only between directly-connected subnets). And many ISPs allow
you to buy your own CPE.

Using an AirPort Extreme (or other home router with similar features)
in bridged mode would do the trick, i guess.

:-)

cheers,

Carlos

Reading this thread, and building on many comments to a previous one,
I definitely see the need for subnetting a /64 arising sooner than
later.

It might not be perfect, It might be ugly, but it will happen. And, if
you ask me, I would rather subnet a /64 than end up with a ipv6
version of NAT, a much worse alternative.

Maybe not NAT but some kind of proxy ND and/or a migration from routing
firewalls to bridging firewalls.  If the broadband provider is only
providing a single /64, it's not likely they're gonna be willing to add
routes to your gateway.
