It's possible he has a network so large that he has run out of IPv4 addresses, but I suspect if that was the case, he wouldn't be asking for help here. :-) In practical terms, running a dual-homed client is much simpler than running a pure IPv6 client and configuring a proxying router. That's all I was trying to point out. > As he has native IPv6 connectivity he doesn't need a tunnel broker. No, he explicitly stated that he does not have native IPv6 connectivity in the sentence I quoted. He also reaffirmed this later by saying "The gateway's external interface is ipv4 only."
