Linux route question

[Flavio Villanustre]

Matthew,

just add a route to 2000::/3 pointing thru your sit device in your
gateway.  That will fix it. Linux doesn't like default routes in IPv6,
that's all.

/sbin/ip route add 2000::/3 dev sitX

(where X is the number for your tunnel)

Regards,

Flavio.
