Glad to hear that you got things working. You have probably already
filed a GUI enhancement request. ;-)

Oh, I forgot that "ndp" is BSD Unix specific. On Gentoo, you can use
sys-apps/iproute2 tools, e.g. "ip -6 neigh" to inspect the kernel's
neighbour table.

Pretty close. If you *really* want to set things up manually, I suggest

Hehe. ;-) That's both provocative and wrong. An IPv6 router can, at a
glance, decide if a packet needs to be handled locally or pushed out. No
need for mangling/re

I can't really tell, based on what you posted. Is there an IPv6 Router
