Is anyone out there setting up routing boundaries differently for IPv4 and IPv6? I'm setting up a network where it seems to make sense to route IPv4, while bridging IPv6 -- but I can be talked out of it rather easily.
Why would you want to do that? I've been tempted to do it the other way around, though. In a hosting environment, you can end up with a bunch of /24s dumped on a broadcast domain with a number of different customers but the addresses so intermingled that you can't give each customer their own VLAN. With IPv6, there is enough address space to give each customer a VLAN and and address block to go along with that, which is a lot cleaner.
