Hi Martin Aha! Sounds complicated, and a bit different to my situation, so I am replying back to the list. :/
My ISP provides native dual stack IPv4 and IPv6 over PPPoE. The IPv4 address is static, and the IPv6 address is dynamic. I've tested connecting with the PPPoE client on MacOSX and can then ping6 to test hosts. It works. I wish to get both working on OpenBSD, pppoe(4), but do not know (a) if it supported, and if so, (b) the hostname.if / ifconfig syntax to bring it up with IPv4 and IPv6 on the pppoe interface. If someone out there can enlighten me, I would be greatful. .d.d.
