[mdlug] IPv6

[Michael Mol]

My Internet connection through Comcast also doesn't include IPv6,
though my modem supports it; Comcast hasn't rolled out IPv6 in my area
yet. So I use tunnelbroker.net, which is a free tunnel service offered
by Hurricane Electric. They only require that you have a public IPv4
address; it doesn't have to be static, but you do need to reconfigure
their end of things if your public IPv4 address changes. This is
scriptable.

I can also talk about the difference between radvd/RAs, which don't
include nameserver information, and DHCPv6, which can. My own setup
has nameserver details distributed via IPv4 DHCP.
