I'd caution against using link-local addresses for any type of service. Link-local addresses are used for host-to-host communications on the same Layer 2 segment. Routers will not forward traffic with link-local addresses. Besides, link-local addresses are automatically created. They cannot be guaranteed to be unique anymore than they can be guaranteed to be constant. Mark.
