How about allocating a /112 as Dan Reeder suggested, and not 10 ip
addresses.
I am not suggesting a fixed size to put in a RFC and force everybody to use
it. People have different networks.

Or you add another range to your dhcpd config.

Im pretty sure we all know why IPv6 exists, but maybe not how we should use
it.
