I'm currently setting up one of the /48 networks from freenet6 and I'm having
some routing issues with my machines behind my tunnel endpoint.  

The network looks like

   192.168.10. network  <-> my ipv6 gateway <-> freenet6 ipv6 gateway

I can do everything from my gateway and from the outside I can access all
the machines on my network with ipv6 addresses.  The problem is that when
I try something like a ping from one of the internal machines I get

  {26}: ping6 -n www.kame.net
  PING www.kame.net(2001:200:0:4819:280:adff:fe71:81fc) from 3ffe:b80:411:1:250:4ff:fed6:1907 : 56 data bytes
  From 3ffe:b80:411:1::1 icmp_seq=1 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable
  From 3ffe:b80:411:1::1 icmp_seq=2 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable
  --- www.kame.net ping statistics ---
  2 packets transmitted, 0 received, +2 errors, 100% loss, time 1003ms

It actually worked at one point for a minute or two but I haven't been able
to get the behavior back again.  I can ping all local ipv6 addresses on my
gateway from one of the 192.168.10 machines but get the error above trying 
to ping anything beyond my machine.  Seems like a route issue to me but I'm
not familiar enough with ipv6 to realize what route I'm missing.  I've attached
the ifconfig and route info from my gateway below.  I would have though the
::/0 route in there would have taken care of things.

thanks for any help
