> You pointed out one way - justuse DHCPv6, but that looses some of nice SLAAC properties.
Android refuses to implement DHCPv6. So (if you have any Android devices in play) at best you can use DHCPv6 for some of your devices while still needing to also have SLAAC. And yes, mDNS might work, but that's another service (or two, right? One to resolve other devices, another to advertise this device) to run on every device, and you'd better hope that every device can run the needed services. Which... actually brings us back to Android; AFAICT, Android can resolve mDNS but doesn't show up itself. As someone who can and does SSH to my phone (termux), this is kind of a sticking point.
