Hi Gert, IPv6 works just fine with my setup, at least in my "simple" setup:
I have a VirtualBox VM with OpenWRT running on my internet server, that gets a (6to4) IPv6 address from HEnet (sadly my server provider doesn't yet seem to know anything about IPv6) including a /48 subnet and runs an OpenVPN server (2.3-alpha3) which distributes (local)IPv4 and (global)IPv6 addresses to the clients. Now I have several OpenVPN routers (i.e. my home internet router) that connect to the OpenVPN server, get a global IPv6 address (with a /56 subnet) from the server and distribute global IPv6 addresses from the /56 subnet to the LAN-clients via dnsmasq6. All of this works like a charm, so I'd say there's no problem with routing IPv6. But I'd be grateful to have someone with more experience look at it and test it with more complex scenarios, since I've just started with IPv6 recently. I'm willing to make it perfect, so I'm eager to learn.
