Well, I'm not insisting on anything. I was just wondering what others are
doing. Actually it has always seemed logical to me to use public address
behind a firewall. It was the networking group at my company that informed
me that private space is used behind firewalls just as a matter of course.
My own ISP gives me one address and so I use a private address space
inside my firewall. I was thinking that if my firewall tunnels to 6bone
then my inside machines could have private IPv4 addresses and public
IPv6 addresses.
