[mdlug] IPv6 setup

[David Lee Lambert]

This weekend I decided to try setting up IPv6 on my home network.  The first 
step was to recompile the kernel on one system where I hadn't enabled it 
before.  Then I tried to get a public IPv6 address and use it.

Many of my web-searches for more information led me to the 6bone,  which is no 
longer in service.

I created an account with Freenet6 ( http://www.go6.net ) and tried to create 
one with Hurricane Electric ( http://www.tunnelbroker.net ) but never got 
their response-email.  I was able to use ping6 between two anonymous Freenet6 
IPv6 addresses configured on two hosts on my network;  the ping-time was 90 
seconds,  when most Internet hosts have a ping-time of 20 to 40 seconds for 
me.  

My next step was to create an AAAA record in my public domain;  but I haven't 
tried connecting to it from outside yet.  

Has anyone in MDLUG dealt with either of these services?  It seems that HE 
would set up a "standard" 4in6 connection (on the 2002::/16 network),  while 
freenet6 uses their own address range.

Does anyone know of any up-to-date documentation of how to set up a LAN with 
publically-routable IPv6 addresses?
