Actually it is. You just are not willing to do it. It is 100% possible to do this automatically. It just requires the chains of trust to be setup. If you live in a dynamic world, you setup those chains. Just don't say that renumbering can't be automated

Mark, I get renumbered in IPv4 today. I suspect there is probably a question of scale here. I wouldn't be surprised that a small home network with a limited number of subnets and systems could be automatically renumbered. I would be surprised if a network of any appreciable

because, in the end, ULA (whichever flavor it is) leads to IPv6-to-IPv6 NAT. I prefer losing some bytes in all my packets between locations using different ULA-D prefixes to get an underlying VPN / tunneling infrastructure. This allows me to keep things flat, i.e. pure routing.
