This sounded promising, and the machines are on the same home lan, but I could not ping6 them or ssh -6 into them using those addresses. Maybe there's something else I need to configure first?

In the meantime, I just did static ip addresses for the three Debian machines for the time being.

Thanks so much for the suggestions.
