A /56 is definitely better. Of course, I used to have 4 LANs just in my house (wired, wireless, VPN to employer, "teen-net" to which certain users were consigned for violation of the house AUP...). I suspect there are others on this list with more than that, today. Sure, we're power users. We're also talking about technology that's been around for a while. If all of my lights were controlled over the net, I'd probably want a separate subnet for that, for access control. I might want a separate subnet for environmental controls, because access problems there can result in physical damage. I really need to set up a VPN for remote access to the house.
