<no hat> I note that the Apple Airport Utility pops up warnings about various errors, some of which relate to sub-optimal network configuration, rather than misconfiguration. In particular, they warn you if you try to use double NAT. Users can acknowledge those warnings, so they no longer appear. I can envisage a box issuing a similar warning if it only gets a /64 from its upstream. It would be nice if there was a generic method for doing this that was vendor independent, but I guess that's unlikely to happen.
