This is referring to something I have run into before, where the
auto-assignment code ignores any manually assigned /64 prefixes.  If you
hypothetically assign fd00:0:1::/64 to se00 and fd00:0:2::/64 to sw00, the
auto-assignment has a tendency to assign fd00:0:1::/64 to sw00 along with
your manually-assigned prefix.  I don't know how well auto-assignment plays
with AHCP, so I have tended to set things up manually to get around this.
