Setting the "other-config-flag" or O-bit on a Cisco ASA

[Frank Bulk - iName.com]

Good point.  But changing a customer's network topology to get IPv6 support
is not a winning approach.  Hopefully Cisco can surprise us and get that
feature put in earlier rather than later.  We have quite a few customers
that use a small ASA their edge network device.

Another option you may be able to consider is to run the ASA in transparent
mode and letting the router route.  This depends on your topology, of
course.
