| IPV6 as tunnle for more IPV4 URLs?
Hello,
I have IPV4-DSL-connection which has only one dynamic IP-Address, but I would like to expose several computer to the Internet with different URLs.
is it possible to get an IPV6 IP for each computer to have IPV6 URLs for each of this IPs to access these URLs from IPV4 via a IPV6 to IPV4 proxy and to have a local reverse-proxy which maps the IPV6 IPs to local IPV4 IPs, that the single Computers do not have to be IPV6-capable?
Is this possible and which softs do I need for that under Linux?
bye

Port Charlotte, FL | With a dynamic v4 IP, you must use a tunnel broker. I have used several, and found Go6 worked best for me, YMMV. They allocate you a /64, as I recall, and their client software may already be installed, depending on your distribution of Linux. |

With a dynamic IPv4 address, you can still generate a 6to4 address with a /64 network. It's tricky because you have to monitor your IPv4 address and reconfigure your 6to4 tunnel. Also, you have to use dynamic DNS for both your IPv4 host(s) and your IPv6 hosts.
A 6to4 tunnel can be created using these instructions:
»www.linux.org/docs/ldp/howto/Lin···els.html
For a static IPv6 address, I use a tunnel to Freenet6 via »www.go6.net/ who has the gw6c daemon that works on several Unix platforms.
As for setting up a IPv6 to IPv4 proxy for web access, you can do it with apache and squid. Search the web. The info is out there. |

You should try to keep things simple:
If you are wanting an IPv6 solution now for all your computers then consider getting yourself an IPv6 subnet. If your usual ISP does not provide you with this option you should consider using a service, such as http//www.sixxs.net/ which can. Also, because of the shear number of IPv6 addresses you will most likely get a static address for your computers. If you aren't wanting to spend any money, then take a look at »freedns.afraid.org/ who allow you to register an AAAA (IPv6 entry) the name of your computer.
If you are still wanting to cater to an IPv4 crowd, and you are only wanting to share HTTP, then consider using an HTTP server, such as Apache, that has virtual server support and then using a service such as dyndns.org for the names. Basically this allows a web server to serve up a different web site based on the name that was used to access it, even if the IP address is the same.
Remember when you go IPv6 to make sure your firewall rules are in place. It is easy to forget that what you set up for IPv4 is not necessarily in place for IPv6.
