Bill isn't on campus; he works at Sun, and gets his MIT email on his
home machine. He may not get back to you quite so quickly. I know
enough about the setup to be comfortable making minor configuration
changes (adding/changing tunnels, tweaking DNS, etc) but I leave
policy to Bill, and I don't know if he had any "interesting" chats
with Network (presumably jis) about future directions, production use,
etc, before setting this up.

I can't ping the ipv6 endpoint 3ffe:1ce1:2::1 from W92, and traceroute
shows packets getting to limekiller and then no further responses. So
he's probably right.

Easy enough to do, though I think it'd make sense to try to make it
one tunnel in the long run (presumably having them renumber and get
addresses from you).
Let me know whether you want to switch the existing tunnel or get a
new one, where your endpoint machine is, and the nameservers to
delegate the ip6.int subdomain to.
