I am trying to get both working, with dedicated RaspberryPi boxes normally 
sitting in the DMZ but sometimes pre-configured in another network, mainly 
dedicated boxes in another network, and mainly random boxes used for general 
web access, etc, in another. I am trying to set up a replacement firewall, but 
I discovered a few more problems when one of two boxes running Bind9 locally 
died a few days ago. It seems that some of the RaspberryPi boxes have changed 
the name of their ethernet interface again, and could no longer find the IPv6 
gateway.
