FYI --
We're analyzing different options for discovering a tunnel endpoint for IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnel (through a NAT). There will be a BOF at the next IETF.
We'd like DNS people to review and send feedback especially on section 3.2, which details approaches using forward DNS (using search path) and reverse DNS (by prepopulating new kind of records, one for each IP address).
In particular, it would be really helpful to get feedback on the operational feasibility of these approaches.
Please send your comments to v6tc list, here, or to me privately (and I'll relay them).

Hi,
The analysis/conclusions document on tunnel end-point discovery has been re-focused and summarized to try to capture the critical discussions better.
It would be extremely useful if folks, especially those ones which have not participated in the discussions before, would take a look and send comments on the list. The document should reflect most of the discussion on discovery that have taken place both on- and off-list.

A New Internet-Draft is available from the on-line Internet-Drafts directories.
Title : Analysis of IPv6 Tunnel End-point Discovery Mechanisms
Author(s) : J. Palet, et al.
Filename : draft-palet-v6ops-tun-auto-disc-03.txt
Pages : 17
Date : 2005-1-24
To be able to automate setting up IPv6-in-IPv4 tunnels, it is important to be able to automatically determine the tunnel end-point for the tunneling mechanism. This memo presents a short analysis and conclusions on the different approaches for discovering the IPv6 tunnel endpoint on a node.

MIME-encoded form by using the "mpack" utility. To use this
feature, insert the command "ENCODING mime" before the "FILE"
command. To decode the response(s), you will need "munpack" or
a MIME-compliant mail reader. Different MIME-compliant mail readers
exhibit different behavior, especially when dealing with
"multipart" MIME messages (i.e. documents which have been split
up into multiple messages), so check your local documentation on
how to manipulate these messages.
Below is the data which will enable a MIME compliant mail reader implementation to automatically retrieve the ASCII version of the Internet-Draft.
