Can someone explain to me why we can't simply use a block of addresses
with the 0200 (local administration) bit or'ed in.  Out of 48 bits of
addressing, we can use 46 bits of them for anything we want as long as
that bit is set and the 0100 bit (multicast) is clear.  By the standard,
those are locally managed and allocated MAC addresses that are not
guaranteed to be globally unique.  They don't even need to be unique in
an entire network, only on the local subnet.  Use any convention you
want.  Stuff the 32 bit IP address of the host in the lower 32 bits and
you've still got 14 bits worth of assignable addressing per host.
That's what that bit is intended for.
