Hi Casey,

http://www.bieringer.de/linux/IPv6/

This site has a nice run down on how to configure everything for ipv6.

After running through that, and configuring a tunnel or two yourself, it
should become obvious as to how to create an installation/configuration
for it.

Pop me a private email if you want to meet up in IRC sometime...

Damien

Sounds like a good idea, but I have no experience with ipv6. If you
could
give me a run down on how things are configured (and/or point me to a
decent overview somewhere) I'll take a stab at it. The networking.sh
init.d script will need to be updated as well (obviously).
