Since my ISP ( as such ) doesn't seem to know anything about IPv6, I
suspect that that assignment will be from HE or SixXS or somebody like
that, correct?

I tend to think of my switches as hubs, since there is no way that I
have to control them.

In that case, do I just assign a flat network, or split it up as you
have suggested, giving every switch a prefix and address as you
recommend?  What I mean is that there is no external access to these
devices, and therefore no method for assigning addresses internally.

The only thing that I would consider a router is my OpenBSD firewall,
between the internal network and the big, bad world.


Thank you, Jeroen.
