Doesn't SLAAC give you automatic "MAC address to IP" mapping? It'll save you manually doing that (in an otherwise well controlled environment).
No, it doesn't. On some systems, the mac address is used to create the ipv6 address, but not on others (e.g. windows 7).
Sorry, I made the mail a bit too short I supposed. "Well controlled environment" in my case is a bunch of relatively homogeneous linux server systems ("plain" hardware and virtualized), all managed by the same team. - ask -- Ask Bjørn Hansen, http://askask.com/
