Are you aware there was a bug in linux kernels where it didn't obey the
default route when forwarding packets?   I had the same happen to me,
and it was resolved by just adding this:

/sbin/route -A inet6 add 3ffe::0/16 gw fe80::ipv4_tunnel dev sit1
/sbin/route -A inet6 add 2001::0/16 gw fe80::ipv4_tunnel dev sit1

Replace "ipv4_tunnel" with the ipv4 address of your tunnel provider's
router. 

I was told upgrading the kernel would fix it, but I haven't had time to
recompile.

You will need to have route on your linux box to the public network
(statically or with a routing protocol).

Are you aware of Peter Bieringer's site? Actual scripts tend to be
tested on
redhat, but, the concepts should be reusable.

You'll need to assign one of your global IPv6 addresses to the tunnel
interface.  For example:

ipv6 adu 2/3ffe:1200:3012:8082::1
