Stateless Autoconfiguration IPv6

hi, in process of designing ipv6 envionment small local office network uses tmg default route internet. ipv6 need ensure if isp changes (i.e. ipv6 range buy), there isn't big ip readdressing done hosts. i've read around , seems options when obtaining new ipv6 range are: don't move. isp's dream , not option. :) move , readdress manually. maybe practical answer now, not scalable. use stateless autoconfiguration. use dhcpv6. the last 2 best , flexible. in general, people seem saying third option smaller envionment , last big enterprises. in case, i'd use third, say, uses tmg default gateway isn't going responding router solicitation message time supports ipv4 , no plans go ipv6 (which, have say, odd). so, right in saying small network, need use dhcpv6? indeed, there ms servers respond router solicitation messages? finally, should i'm not interested in routing here, address assignment and achieving flexible method of changing ipv6 addresss on lan

Domain Trust between Production and Development

we have 2 domains: 1) ourcompany.com (windows server 2003 active directory. used in-house email, development, etc.) 2) ourcompany-production.com (windows server 2003 active directory. contains database , web servers exposed our clients , customers) there lot of management tasks because there no trusts established between domains , creates lot of work our staff. purposed idea of creating trust between company domain , production domain. however, colleagues said idea had been brought before discouraged because security risk. i don't feel great security risk. theory if attacked in house or in production it's still attack , should have been prevented. while colleagues argued seperation of trust helps mitigate severity (or spread) of attack. i love expert oppinions on matter? should we? shoudn't we? etc. etc. also, looking move server 2008 well. having trust established prior migration create lot of work upgrades, or not really? thank input. cheers! hi,
