Requirements for joining the 6Bone

[david.greaves@idl-bt.com]

I did some playing with this and set up my dial-up linux box as an IPv6
router, got it to obtain an IPv6 address and network from an HTML form (BTs)
and then used radvd to inform a couple of IPv6 clients.

It needed a custom perl script to go to the form and then setup local config
but it worked after a fashion :)

I wrote 25 pages of notes that went through from kernel config, Bind 9
setup, radvd, and wrote a noddy client/server. It's not a HOWTO but it
documents my ramblings somewhat :)

If anyone wants I'll send or post them up.
