[mdlug] ipv6 in Centos -- ouch

I'm still trying to decide if I want to brag that
I have IPv6 working or if I want to rant about the
fact that it was painful to set up.  I can't believe
that I'm the first person who got iptables, ip6tables,
radvd, sysctl and the various files in /etc/sysconfig
to work.

I thought the Hurricane Electric certification would
walk me through the setup.  Not really.  I spent hours
in their blogs and searching Google to find how to
configure everything using standard Centos files.
I could not find a single website that correctly lists
how to setup an IPv6 router!  Hopefully later today
there will be a listing on LinuxQuestion.org and/or
at the Hurricane Electric forums.

Now that I know what to do, it's rather simple and it
would take me only a few minutes to set up a new system.

I'm already looking forward to working through the
certification.
