Can you point me to any configs where you run a tunnel gateway on one
box, and then manage DHCP/DNS/etc from another?  Ideally the tunnel
should change its IP from time to time.

I've yet to see anything that combines any of this with PXE booting,
or with running DNS with dynamic IPs, or running DHCP (if needed) from
a box other than the gateway.  I certainly haven't seen anything where
you have multiple gateways on a subnet.

My goal isn't to get IPv6 working but to start thinking about what is
necessary to get it working so that I'm prepared.  I can certainly set
up an IPv6 gateway on the network (likely via a VM) even if it can't
actually send packets anywhere to test things out, or I could set it
up with a tunnel.

It just seems like the whole IPv6 space is very immature for Linux distros.
