probably - and yes if all is configured well - however, at first blush
it seems firewall misconfiguration (errors) could be less of an issue
with non-routable addresses - they have nowhere to go on the inside -
and since some of us have less experience with ip6 - this may be more of
an issue than with ip4 - I could be being naive here ...
