Ok cool.  I'd love to see some scripts for the Mikrotik Router OS 
showing how you set it up to do that.

I don't understand what impact that has on the devices.

I don't fully understand this concept of prefixes.  192.168.1.1 where's 
the prefix in that?  192?

Currently I think in terms of a single address per device.  Are you 
saying all my devices get two addresses and then just use one?

I don't understand how the devices know which is the least cost route.

Yip, which now requires me to understand how to route v6 over vpn. 
Clearly I need to make a list of all the skills I didn't know I needed 
just to have enough learning to replace my v4 functionality. I wonder 
what else I don't know that I don't know I need to know?
