Hello There,

First, let me say that I am far from overly knowledgeable regarding IPv6 
operation and functionality.

But after talking, being on hold to several levels of my ISP's support staff 
over the last two hours. I feel pretty dang smart. :-)

I had to explain my IP situation several different ways before I could get them 
to comprehend what I actually needed. My situation is really quite simple to 
me. I have a block of static v4 IP's I am told by my ISP that each static v4 IP 
has a derived v6 IP assigned to it. I asked them what the v6 Prefix and the v6 
Gateway address(s) were. They had little if any knowledge what my v6 IP's were 
let alone what the prefix or gateway would be. Linux needs to know those 
settings before one can save the network settings for that that Linux PC. I 
have written a bash script that goes out and gets my v6 IP and IF it has 
changed it then updates the settings at my DNS provider for that domain. Which 
shouldn't be needed IF the v6 IP was actually static like they say that it is.
