   I'd recommend to use fd00::/8 since fc00::/8 was meant to be some kind of   
   globally unique local address space managed by a registry (-> B2B VPNs).

   Most don't. But you never know what e-junk some company uses. >:)

   /64 as xfer network and a /56 for the LAN (both dynamic, forced change every 6   
   months).

   Cisco, Juniper, Linux, ...    
   However, you need to check the details for each box and firmware. For example,   
   Linux can hide the complete LAN behind a single IPv6 address.
