Seriously, though, you're welcome to use fd00::/8 for exactly that purpose. The problem is that you (and hopefully it stays this way) won't have much luck finding a vendor that will provide the NAT for you to do it with.

So what's the IPV6 solution for PCI compliance, where 1.3.8 requires the use of RFC1918 space? Admitedly, it's been a year or two since I last had to engineer around that particular set of rules...but it's life or death for a lot of folks.
Simple. Use RFC1918 IPv4 along side global IPv6 addresses. Done :-)
1. PCI allows for equivalent effective security. IPv6 privacy addresses actually meet that test, among other possible solutions. 2. I believe there is work underway to correct some of the specious requirements in PCI DSS, among which this is one. Owen
