It sounds from this like he's not around right now?

Agreed.

Interesting. I wasn't previously aware that any tunnels entered the
lab. It turns out that frenulum is owned by one of the research groups
and was used for a specific project. Garrett (wollman@lcs; our
netadmin) thinks that the tunnel may not actually be active anymore.
I've contacted the sysadmin for that group to find out its status.
Since our goal here is to provide IPv6 connectivity lab-wide, we don't
want to use an individual research group's tunnel gateway. If it turns
out that the tunnel is no longer active, then we will look in to taking
it over. If it is active, then I'd like to see about getting a separate
tunnel for use as a central lab service.
