RE: ipv6 dns server.

We've had pretty good luck with bringing a /48 into a *BSD router/firewall
(using pf), with tunnels from various ISPs over our basic IPv4 service.
We route a /64 into each of our internal subnets. Performance is OK.
Note Hurricane Electric will only do /64 via tunnel (no /48). *BSD 
system also runs a RA daemon on all 3 subnets. Internal nodes get
prefix(es) just fine.
 
With this, as far as internal nodes go, they think you're getting direct
IPv6 (except for end to end QoS, etc). 
 
We are supposed to be getting direct IPv6 service for first time from
one of the major telcos here (we're their first IPv6 customer, so I won't
tell who yet). I understand 4 of the 5 biggest ISPs here (Philippines)
are gearing up for direct IPv6 as we speak. One already offers it free
to IPv4 customers (Mozcom). Looking forward to direct service.

Nice link at Hexago about Quake 3 over IPv6.

I've been using Fedora which has 6to4 available with a simple checkbox
setting. But the resulting route for the IPv4 tunnel to the multicast
address is pretty pessimal. Should I be considering a different solution?
