Since you can have multiple addresses on an interface, you could theoretically create a separate route just for your connections to your server, using a consistent address rather than the randomized one. And of course in a world where we all get a large pool of address space to do with what we please, you could skip the whole auto-configuration thing entirely and just manually assign whatever addresses you want. And another bonus is that there are plenty of funny things we can spell in hexadecimal. ;)
