But not really necessary.  For my vservers I allocate a /112 to them, on
dummy0 and route a /64 from eth0 to dummy0.

On some other vserver hosts where I can't setup routing for a new
address block, I allocate /112s listening on eth0.  I still do SNAT for
IPv4 on dummy0.  Quite handy, it means the vservers don't use up IPv4
addresses from the LAN, I still get outbound IPv4 transit, but I can get
to the vserver via IPv6.

Not much management overhead, and autoconfig isn't required for IPv6 to
work.

Cheers!
