Not a good idea to publish a auto-generated EUI-64 based address for 
servers.
In case of a NIC replacement, you and clients are a little bit in 
trouble...because of DNS delay, manual host entries....

Suggestion: assign additionally a manual chosen ID (e.g. <prefix>::1) out 
of the same /64 block and publish this address in DNS and on the Web.
You can also choose different addresses for different services (cvs, ftp, 
http), easier to separate boxes later.

e.g.:

<prefix>::1 -> http
<prefix>::2 -> ftp
<prefix>::3 -> cvs
