Excuse the question if it is obvious, but I'm new to using IPv6.   What 
is SLAAC?   Is that something that would be available for routers using 
open firmware such as DD-WRT?   The reason I ask is I have been trying 
to determine a way to issue IPv6 addresses from my router, but I have 
yet to determine a way.   To me using IPv6 is just one extra level of 
security, since it is not wide enough spread for hackers to have 
scripted to try NFS mount and such using IPv6 addresses.
