   The issue with doing anything with a prefix larger then /64 is that you    
   lose SLAAC, so forget about auto-configuration of devices, so think    
   carefully.   
      
   I'd suggest asking your ISP, but I'm guessing if you're not using native    
   IPv6 it maybe because your ISP is one of those...   
      
   I'm unsure about IPv6 providers, like to rent a /48 /52 /56 even a /60    
   (o Lord, what would I give for native /60) I guess a search for that on    
   you region on Google would yield something.
