Well, actually, while I changed OS's, and I planned to change the NIC to
gigabit, the old NIC actually remains. The MAC address may not be the
variable.

mirror:/etc/cron.daily# ipv6calc --quiet --action conv6to4 128.171.104.136
2002:80ab:6888::
mirror:/etc/cron.daily# printf "2002:%02x%02x:%02x%02x::1\n" 128 171 104 136
2002:80ab:6888::1

eth0      Link encap:Ethernet  HWaddr 00:04:76:f1:ed:c8
          inet addr:128.171.104.136  Bcast:128.171.104.255
 Mask:255.255.255.0
          inet6 addr: 2607:f278:4101:12:204:76ff:fef1:edc8/64 Scope:Global
          inet6 addr: fe80::204:76ff:fef1:edc8/64 Scope:Link

Now, the question is, what address should be used for DNS? I recall learning
last year that I should use the Global address. When I ping and traceroute,
I get the shorter addresses. I

2002:80ab:6888:
2002:80ab:6888::1
2607:f278:4101:12:204:76ff:fef1:edc8
fe80::204:76ff:fef1:edc8

The DNS record and ifconfig results of 2607:f278:4101:12:204:76ff:fef1:edc8
are the same.
