   The fault may be mine. The v6 IP's that I have are derived from the individual   
   static v4 IP's that I currently have. My ISP *suggests* that since the v6 IP    
   are derived from static IP's they shouldn't change. My experience has taught   
   me that that isn't the case. As I have had to update the AAAA records manually   
   several times.    
      
   I am working on a bash script that will detect an v6 IP change and send that   
   updated IP to my DNS provider.   
      
   For a time my ISP did offer the purchase/lease of a block of static v6 IP's.   
   But they look to have changed that to derived IP's now.
