With IPv6, ULA addressing defined in RFC 4193
http://www.ietf.org/rfc/rfc4193.txt allows one to isolate most of the
internal network using non-routable addresses. Combine that with the
typical enterprise configuration of firewall, web proxy, and internal
email service. You don't even need NAT in this scenario.
