Just to conclude this thread: Tom, you were right, even with basic forwarding set by individual commands rather than Shorewall, it didn't work. It's taken me some time and effort (you don't want to know the details, believe me!), but I know a lot more about IPv6 than I did, and I have a working Dual Stack network now, so thanks for your comments and help.
