Is my routers IPv6 address static?
I would like to access my security system remotely without depending on a third party for address resolution. This is non-trivial using traditional dynamic IPv4 addressing. In theory, the entire justification for IPv6 is to avoid the need for dynamic addresses.
AT&T (appears to) assign an IPv6 address range to each subscriber. Is this address range assigned for the life of the subscriber's account? Does the modem/router supplied by AT&T allow the user to assign IPv6 addresses from this range to equipment on the user-side LAN? How hard is all this?

@ArchDude I'd disable IPv6 and forget about it for now, just casues freezing/rebooting on 510/589 RGs and browsing problems on Pace/2wire RGs.
Public IPv4 addresses are dynamic, but I've had the same one for almost 7 years on VDSL 2 Uverse w/TV and Internet. 😉

Thanks for the reply. In that case I'll just set up a monitoring task locally inside the house and send an e-mail to my external self if the address changes. What I dislike about dyndns solutions is the extra external chatter.
If the 2Wire RG does not have any other M2M interface, the monitor can just wget the appropriat page from the RG.
