With IPv6 this can be more complicated, as relays may be using "Privacy
Extensions for Stateless Address Autoconfiguration in IPv6" (RFC4941) which
means that these IP addresses may change often.

We should probably give some advice to relay operators to ask them to
disable privacy extensions?

Thanks,
Iain.
