This is standard.

Also, if you use stateless address autoconfiguration, the lower 64 bits of the address (the interface ID) will get populated automatically. > On sit0, I have a 2001...../128, I asume this is the host > address for the > end of the tunnel.

I would use an address from your /64 subnet allocation as the address you publish in DNS.
