Hi,
> Is it best practice to have the internet facing BGP router's peering =
ip (or for that matter any key gateway or security appliance) use a =
statically configured address or use EUI-64 auto config?

for the VIP's like the ASA's failover ip )
Static. You don't want to have to contact all of your peers when the =
EUI-64 address changes when you replace hardware.
Cheers
