Well, so then it won't work that way. It's not as if it's hard to get
two /64 subnets.

That's just as likely as that you would have two hosts with the same IP
on the same subnet. However, it still won't work because configuring the
same prefix on both subnets will break routing.

He won't.

'Choose what you like best'. In my case, the router has <prefix>::1.
