This got me reading about IPv6 again. I'm trying to figure out how we'd set up an IPv6 network in the case where we have
1) Two upstream ISPs, mostly for failover, but could be loadbalanced too.
2) Internal servers with assigned DNS
My initial thoughts were that for each of the two ISPs, each host (e.g. personal desktop or laptop) would use the IPv6 prefix and end up with two addresses. But in the interest of having an internal address for internal servers, we'd need yet another IPv6 prefix for internal use. That makes 3 IPv6 addresses per host.
Does that make sense? I read about getting Provider Independent (PI) address prefixes, which would allow use to consolidate to a single IPv6 prefix, but from what I read, that costs money and should generally be used for large organizations. Ugh.
