Randy,

Have you had good luck with tunnels? I've have ipv6 for a couple of
years now, I'm on my third tunnel broker, and I have to say... I love
ipv6 (and hate it too for some things), but I hate the reliability I've
had with tunnel brokers. Lots of times my tunnel is up but ipv6 isn't
being routed correctly )usually broken somewhere in the brokers
networks). I really wish I had an ISP that offered native but alas, none
to be found around here.
