Subject: Re: Question about migrating to IPv6 with multiple upstreams.

Standard IP routing, the default gateway of the network can decide based
on a route entry whether to send it to the cable modem or send it to the
firewall.

If the source block is not routed via both connections it won't work
without
NAT.  I had this same problem trying to use my ISP's native v6 over PPPoE
and maintain a tunnel as backup since it was still pretty flaky as they
were
testing it at the time ... no way a residential ISP is going to route 3rd
party blocks for all their customers, and no chance the tunnel provider
was
going to route the block my ISP assigned me either ... with no NAT66 in
Tomato/ddWRT/etc it was 100% impossible to have multiple connections ...



Are you able to create ip6ip tunnels from your firewall/router to each
customer?
