Hello Nicholas,

Once a week would certainly be an incentive to start looking for a way to automate it...

Just give it some more time.

So will I. If t settles down to changing two or three times a year, I can live with it.

I had the fancy address installed too for a short while. But than I figured using the SLAAC address was easier in case of a prefix change...
