Do you really need that many IP addresses?  When somebody finally gets
around to implementing REDIRECT support for ip6tables then you could
just redirect them all to the same port on the local system.
The way I see it, it's: "if someone gets around to implement *IPv6 NAT*"
(which, if its designers were asked, is contrary to the idea of ipv6).
true, but back in the real world it's sometimes desriable to hid _chich_
specific machine somethign comes from. so I expect that implementation of NAT
is going tohappen at some point before it's widely deployed.
Client-transparent SOCKS5 proxy. It already exists today! ;-)
(Not as performant as an in-kernel NAT, though.)
