On what? My server machine? No.

I also took a look at my "emerge.log" which is basically what I've installed/updated in the past month, thinking maybe dhcpcd may have been updated, and it wasn't. So I'm at a complete loss there. My MAC address as well as my link-local v6 address are still the same as they always were, just my v6 address for that specific machine changed. My VM (1:154/701) is also the same it always has been.

Understood. But since not many ISPs are even offering it at the moment, that could lead to even more problems. They're most likely going to have a long period of time where they offer dual-stack to try to ween off the v4 addresses, and probably won't fully make the change until a huge percentage of everyone is able to go v6 without any hassle.

Regards,
Nick
