I'm one of those. Say I connect my new Pi Zero to the network, and I want it to be a server of some sort.
In a IPv6-without-DHCPv6 world, how do I make sure I can always reach my Pi server?
With DHCP it's easy, I can assign it a fixed lease in the DHCP server and the DHCP server automatically registers the name in the DNS server for convenience.
How do I get the same when using IPv6-without-DHCPv6. Keep in mind my IPv6 prefix changes frequentl, sometimes multiple times a day, and this is out of my control (changing ISP is not an option).
