How is that different than IPX? It seems if you are going to increase the size of the address enough to include the MAC address, assigning a unique (whether locally or globally) become trivial. After all, MAC addresses are, in thoery, globally unique. Then the only question is routability, which means network information picked up from the line (as in IPX) or from a server (in IPv6 as you seem to indicate in your post).
My greatest concern about IPv6 (and this is probably due to my ignorance on the subject) is the apperent reliance on name resolution. I just think how oftern in my line of work it is easiest and most expedicious to use the IP address rather than the name. That isn't going to be feasible when the address is 60 odd characters long. Am I missing something, or are the days of 'no ip domain-lookup' soon to be a thing of the past?
