The area I have most need of is how to configure my home network to handle IPV6. I have a mix of IPV6-capable linux and win* and other pure IPV4 (static and DHCP) peripherals. The router and my ISP do IPV6, but currently I have it all disabled, and reserve IPV4 address slots on the DHCP server in the router (based on MAC address) for everything, then keep a matching "hosts" file in all the linux hosts. I have pondered running radvd etc on an always-on raspberry pi, but can't see how to get it automagically into the nameserver chain. From what I can see, Windows IPV6 hosts change their address every 15 minutes or so.
