Unless you use, privacy extensions, the advantage of IPv6 over IPv4 is that the IP address is built based on your network and the mac address of the interface, so it is not a random number changed at every connection....

I guess when you provision the machine, you can install the AAAA and PTR record and then also put the mac address in your access lists...
