ok... so is it -just- me that gets the willies thinking of the
2x64-1 available IPv6 addresses that can be forged as source
addresses for spam origination? i REALLY want to have a tidy
way of only announcing -EXACTLY- what is being used (ok, modulo
one or two adjacent numbers) and not some architecturally
constrained "addressing plan" that has to conserve elsewhere.
(yeah, and my co-bills want ponies)
