Ask your firewall vendor. It isn't rocket science to add support for multiple prefixes.

Configure a secure channel to push that information to them. I do that today for IPv4 for my home network. My ISP changes my address and I automatically inform the people that need to know of the address change. I also get zero advance notice of the address change. I just wake up in the morning and find that it has changed at 3 am. Happens about once every 3 months. > How do I automate the renumbering of router ACLs in my own IPv6 network? Talk to your router vendor. I was not kidding when I suggested that router and firewall vendors should renumber regularly. The only way to make this sort of thing work is to exercise the path until all the problems are gone. > These are purely theoretical questions, but I do know of many instances > where these kinds of things do need renumbering when an IP address > prefix changes. > > Please don't say DEN, WBEM, etc. > > --Michael Dillon > > _______________________________________________ > Ietf mailing list > Ietf@xxxxxxxx > https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf -- Mark Andrews, ISC 1 Seymour St., Dundas Valley, NSW 2117, Australia PHONE: +61 2 9871 4742 INTERNET: Mark_Andrews@xxxxxxx _______________________________________________ Ietf@xxxxxxxx https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/ietf
