It may be around, I haven't looked for it yet, but from the lack of posted links I'm getting the impression that it doesn't exist in a human readable form. With the switchover looming to take place yet within my life if I'm lucky, it seems to me that ipv6 somehow has this shroud on invisibility over it. Those of use using 192.168 based home networks need to be able to figure out how to set this up ahead of time so we aren't caught in a no mans land when the switch is done.
