If you have a static IPv4 address you can use either the AARNet IPv6 tunnel broker (reasonably okay) or 6to4 address (tends to have higher latency due to dog-leg routing). If you have a dynamic IPv4 you really want to be using the AARNet IPv6 broker. One advantage 6to4 address has is that you can get your reverse DNS setup (http://6to4.nro.net). > /64 on the 6to4 address space to chop up how you want internally, also > using fe80 for site addressing so I can use these addresses with out > worring about the changing dhcp address and therefor a changing 6to4 > address The site-local prefix (fe80) has been deprecated (rfc3879), instead you want IPv6 local addresses (rfc4193) which you can self-generate with tools such as: http://www.hznet.de/tools/generate-uniq-local-ipv6-unicast-addr.sh > I routing my encapsulated traffic via ::192.231.212.5 (aus 4to6 gateway) > and via the ::192.88.99.1 which is defined as a 4to6 gateway which is > mean to be provided by your isp You mean 6to4, however the 6to4 anycast address (::192.88.99.1) is normally provided by the topologically closest network -- at the moment that is switzerland as neither AARNet nor Telstra advertise reachability of their 6to4 service. > had some fun setting it up and ip6tables, but now I have it running > haven't played with it in a while.

I was under the impression that Squid was fundamentally broken w.r.t IPv6 -- I'm been meaning to look at Apache2 mod_proxy but, on my laptop, I'm using polipo with some success.
