We have the configuration mentioned in the first mail, because we are
doing experimentation. I am in a project trying IPv6, the people who
wants to be connected through us are usually interested tech people from
enterprises or universities without no explicit priority objective of
trying IPv6, at least not for now. We are almost by our own. That's why
we must be the less invasive as possible. We cannot modify/upgrade main
routers.

My mistake, I did it before for 3ffe::/15 (6bone) and 2001::/16
(production IPv6 networks):
#route -A inet6 add 3ffe::/15 gw 3ffe:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1 <tunnelname>
#route -A inet6 add 2001::/16 gw 3ffe:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1 <tunnelname>
#route -A inet6 add 2000::/3 gw 3ffe:xxxx:xxxx:xxxx::1 <tunnelname>
But, I didn't understood what 2000::/3 means please?

Usually we connect little labs within large institutions.If something
have to be done in the main routers, we have to say to the admins
exactly what we wants. And we have to assure them that nothing bad will
occurs with their normal data traffic.
That's why I prefer solutions that don't touch main routers, but if it's
a must, please could you tell me how to forward all the proto 41 packets
to the private host. My major experience is with GNU/Linux with very
little of Cisco IOS.

Hmm I just saw a NewRiders book about VPNs, I'll try to get it.
