      How is that??  You create the tunnel with an IP!  dns has nothing to do with establishing the tunnel.

        If your IP changes you have to look up ipv4.tunnelbroker.net and push an update to their server that reconnects the IPv6 tunnel. Until your IPv6 tunnel comes back up you cannot reach an IPv6 DNS server. Chicken-and-egg problem.

        Anyone tried using unbound and letting it talk to the roots? Does that work around this?

          I use unbound to talk to roots, but it is not on the whitelist.

          If your IP is changing that often, and you need to change your IP on ipv4.tunnelbroker.net – how about just putting in a HOST entry for that??

          You sure an the hell do not need dns to resolve 1 host.  What now your going to say the ip for ipv4.tunnelbroker.net is changing? ;)

            the resolvers at work direct queries to the root servers and that won't work. Unless the server that talks to the root is on the whitelist it's a no-go.

            I have a forwarder statement for bind at work so that it uses the HE server for facebook, google etc.
