Re: IPv6, dynamic IP and WRT54

I am willing to put up with some difficulty (I am a Card Carrying 
Geek after all:) and run a tunnel if it is possible with my setup; 
I just need some help over my current list of challenges.
Will any of the tunnel brokers and the ip command take a dnsname 
instead of an ipaddress?
If they will, I think I may be able to make it work, but as nearly 
as I can tell from the manpage  _addr_  needs to be and ipaddress 
and not a name.
