I've noticed that Comcast tends to change their IPv6 assignments occasionally 
for no apparent reason.  When I notice connects falling back to IPv4, I have 
to log into my Linux box, use ifconfig to determine the newly assigned IPv6 
/64 prefix, adjust my "static" IPv6 address accordingly, and update the AAAA 
record to re-enable full inbound IPv6 connectivity.  It wouldn't surprise me 
if this was done by Comcast to discourage the use of server applications on 
their residential service.  However, it doesn't happen very often, so I can 
live with it.
