Unfortunately some upstream providers wont or can't do this.  After two
months of no response, our normally accomodating upstream provider ANS,
finally told us today they don't support ipv6 and declined our request for
an experimental tunnel and address space.  Anybody out there willing to
provide us some address space and a tunnel?
