W.r.t. the issue of /64 or smaller addresses, my plan is as follows:
we have a /16 network within AMPRnet (44.137.0.0/16)
it is very easy to get a /48 network in IPv6 (every home customer at my ISP gets one of them, I have one as well. it would be easy to get a /48 assigned to our gateway where 44.137.0.0/16 is BGP routed now
I want to make a 1:1 mapping of every assigned address in our IPv4 subnet to a /16 network within that /48 space. E.g. when we get 1234:5678:abcd::/48 from our ISP, I would map 44.137.0.1 to 1234:5678:abcd:0001::/64, up to 44.137.255.255 mapped to 1234:5678:abcd:ffff::/64
I'm a bit lost at what you're suggesting, and the practical way it would be implemented. At first glance, this looks like a recipe for suboptimal routing to the outside world.
I have 2 AMPRnet IPv4 allocations - one BGP connected, one IPIP connected. Both sites have IPv6 available. Here, where the IPIP mesh terminates has a /56. I currently have a /64 on the VPS, but as there's only one host, it wouldn't be difficult to carve that into AMPRnet and non AMPRnet parts, because IPs are assigned by hand and are all on the same interface.
