   Hello There,   
      
   First, let me say that I am far from overly knowledgeable regarding IPv6   
   operation and functionality.   
      
   But after talking, being on hold to several levels of my ISP's support staff   
   over the last two hours. I feel pretty dang smart. :-)   
      
   I had to explain my IP situation several different ways before I could get   
   them to comprehend what I actually needed. My situation is really quite simple   
   to me. I have a block of static v4 IP's I am told by my ISP that each static   
   v4 IP has a derived v6 IP assigned to it. I asked them what the v6 Prefix and   
   the v6 Gateway address(s) were. They had little if any knowledge what my v6   
   IP's were let alone what the prefix or gateway would be. Linux needs to know   
   those settings before one can save the network settings for that that Linux   
   PC. I have written a bash script that goes out and gets my v6 IP and IF it has   
   changed it then updates the settings at my DNS provider for that domain. Which   
   shouldn't be needed IF the v6 IP was actually static like they say that it is.
