[vserver] assigning less than /64 to individual guests

Just sent that to the vserver list, but figured this is at
least as relevant. 

So am I in the clear to parcel out a /64 in /80s, as long
as all the /80 are all on the same LAN or VLAN? No autoconfig
breakage ensues? Is 48 bits really enough for anybody?

I've been able to obtain only a native /56 from my hoster, so
I cannot allocate a /64 for each invidual guest.

Are there any reasons to not go with a /80 e.g. for invidual
vserver guests, as long as the /64 they're from is all on one
(V)LAN?

The basic functionality in psand.net kerners and util-vserver
is FYI there:
