Yes, but the same happened already with a variable IPv4 address, so this
is not a new problem. As I understand HPA, the new problem is that with
IPv6 the whole prefix can change.
Yes but when it happens there some kind of well defined event - like
dhcp giving you a new address
and can trigger scripts that do the necessary updating of whatever needs
to be updated. Also
I have a dynamic address that might change once or twice a year since I
leave my system on 24/7.
This sounds like all of a sudden the ISP gives you a new prefix and "RA"
(router advertisements ?)
let you know that you have a new address.
