Sorry for the confusion. I expected to get a autoconfigured address in
the prefix the router got from the isp, not in a ULA one I created
myself. However, it's starting to look like the router actually does
advertise the ULA as well (I thought it didn't), so that's probably
correct behaviour.

I didn't find anywhere in the man page that said the order of my stanzas
was important - I assumed they were entirely independent of each other.

And it's the way I'm going.

It just appears that the idea of using one stanza per ip address (or at
least per prefix) doesn't seem to work consistently.
