Well the design of IP6 is that everything does have an external IP, and the role
of the router changes from being a NAT router/firewall, to just a
router/firewall.

I'm looking forward to the day we can turn of IP4 - and I know it probably will
be a long time before we get there - but maintaining 2 addresses technologies is
a pain.
