- SLAAC - the address spaces for IPv6 are so huge, collisions are extremely unlikely outside of intentional actions.

- Open holes through firewalls, point DNS at the address, and it should just work, the joys of actually having public addresses.

- Same way as with IPv4 mostly. The only real difference is because SLAAC assumes a /64 you probably want your networks to be at least that big.

But come on! It is a legitimate question, do you just scramble keys when picking an address?

If your ISP gives you a static IPv6. Unfortunately in Germany none of the ISP for private users does (last I checked).
