That I have not figured out how to combine a manually configured "vanity IPV6 address" with a dynamic prefix, may very well be due to my shortcomings instead of that of the OS I use. I have not seen aynone else do it with /any/ OS. TTMBOK, all using these vanity adresses have static prefixes.
Since the invention of url's, IP addresses were never meant to look "nice" anyway, So this is just a fad. If I can make it work, fine. But I am not going to change OS just for that.

Maybe. I may find a way after all.
KE> Oh, no, you lose all the others. ;(
There may be a way around that which I have not found yet.
