Yes, that's correct. > It seems like I would have to do this for every address in the range, if > I understand it correctly. Of course if it supports a whole range, it > would seem more practical.

With IPv6, the focus is not really on whether every address the delegation will be exhausted but more whether it gives enough flexibility for the expected use-cases. In reality, a lot of places treat a /64 similarly to a single IPv4 address in terms of blocking, filtering, etc. So the more you divide it, the more you are potentially dividing the reputation of the smaller IP block with other users. > I'm not sure this design is the best. It almost certainly isn't :-).
