You *DON'T* want to renumber your whole home network every time your ISP changes your IPv6 prefix.
If only they had some service which converted easy to remember names into IPv6 addresses.....
You don't want to put DNS names inside of firewall rules. Some won't let you, and for others it's risky... ever read a manual?
That comment was uncalled for.
IPv6 uses global addresses not internal ones (and for good reason).
IPv6 supports unique local addresses in addition to global addresses.
Forcing local networks using local addresses to host local data remotely is also ridiculous.
Well, I think I misunderstood what Marcin was saying. So, sorry about that.
But, on the other hand, there is nothing that prohibits people from hosting DNS only locally. If, for some reason, you want to use an IP address which is assigned by your ISP, for a host which is only accessible via the local network, then you might even want to do this. I'm not sure why you'd want to use an IP address which is assigned by your ISP for a host which is only supposed to be accessible via the local network, though.
