This might defy the "/48 for every endsite" rule, but anything else is impracticable.
note that this is not a rule - it's considered to be a good practise, but you are certainly allowed to use less if you think that makes sense (and hopefully your customer will not complain or actually, maybe your customer actually should complain if you do this :-)).
what it really means is: you won't get in trouble with the RIR who gave you the address space if you assigned /48's to end-sites (under the current set of rules).
Quoting Timothy Lowe (RIPE NCC) at the AIAD last wednesday: "If you have reasonable doubt that a client needs more than one (1) /64, give them a /48" His and other presentations from the AIAD (AMS-IX IPv6 Awareness Day) are available from: http://www.ams-ix.net/aiad/presentations.html <SPAM> As promised by Pim van Pelt and myself at RIPE42, SixXS is live: http://www.sixxs.net </SPAM> Greets, Jeroen
