Hi,

I have been playing with IPv6 on a few machines and I must say that it
is very easy to get the basic IPv6 configuration on the "endpoints" ie.
machines with just a ethernet connection. Just a line with
'ipv6_enable="YES"' /etc/rc.conf and it is done.

But how do you configure an IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel in rc.conf? I can do it
on the commandline, I'm just trying to figure out how to do it in rc.conf.
I can get the IPv4 part configured with something like this:

gif_interfaces="gif0"
gifconfig_gif0="146.64.84.9 146.64.8.68"

But how/where do you configure the IPv6 part of the tunnel? Do you have to
put it in the network_interfaces= section where the normal IPv4
configuration is done?

Another question, how do you add a default IPv6 route in rc.conf? There is
an ipv6_default_interface= variable, but from the comments it looks like
it is only meant for link local multicast addresses.

John
