Well, I have talked with Peter now, and I'm going to write things on
IPv6 forwarding with ip6tables and radvd (assuming you have a block of
IPv6 addresses from somewhere like freenet6.net or ipng.org.uk (I don't
endorse these or anything, I just have used them, so I know them a
little). It will probably be a little in the /proc filesystem, too.
Well, just to let everyone know, I have talked to Peter about this, so
I'll be submitting things to him soon. (It does not fall under the
IPMASQ howto.)
Thanks!
