[6bone] v6 and ADSL

[Tina Strauf (JOIN Projekt Team)]

Of course, what you say is true. Once you have an IPv6 connection to one
client whithin your net either natively, by ISATAP, normal configured
IPv6-in-IPv4-tunnel or 6to4 you can do with that whatever you want and
even get (another) prefix routed through it for addressing the rest of
the machines in the network. The original ISATAP client would then have
to be configured as IPv6 default gateway for the rest of the hosts etc.
But afaik ISATAP was not especially designed for that purpose or
otherwise it would have included a (global) prefix being
delegated/assigned to the client as is the case with 6to4. Your idea
might also a bit hard to do or at least requires some additional
scripting, at least if the client on the dialed-in part of the net
obtains a different IPv4-address every time. You might have to set up
the static route for the prefix on each dial-up anew.
