5 Pretty close. If you *really* want to set things up manually, I suggest
6 using ULA as per https://tools.ietf.org/html/rfc4193 . I just randomly
7 picked [1] as a generator service, entered a fictuous MAC address (you
8 should use one of your own), and clicked "Go". The outcome was:

10 Your Private IPv6 network is:
11 fdb3:fa69:3947::/48
12 giving you access to the to the following /64s:
13 fdb3:fa69:3947:0::/64 through fdb3:fa69:3947:ffff::/64
14
15 The private /48 network contains 2^16 /64 subnets, so there is enough to
16 go round for LAN, DMZ, guest network, etc. As an example, let's pick
17 fdb3:fa69:3947:0::/64 as our local network.

22 I prefer this alternative:
23
24 # /etc/conf.d/net for machine #5
25 config_eth0="192.168.123.5/24
26 fdb3:fa69:3947::5/64"
27 # The previous line is the shortened representation of
28 # fdb3:fa69:3947:0:0:0:0:5/64
29
30 You can now indeed use a shared hosts file as before:
31
32 # /etc/hosts
33 192.168.123.5 machine5-ipv4
34 fdb3:fa69:3947::5 machine5
35
36 I cannot test this right now, but if I did not miss any typos, this
37 should get you going.
