Routing IPv6 over IPv4 ?

Hi,
I have a multihomed network running IPv4 (with my own PA allocation) and I now also have IPv6 PA space (a /32).
Both of my upstream transit providers only support IPv4.
One of the ISPs (Tiscali) used by one my upstream transit provider supports IPv4/IPv6 but how I understand it, my upstream transit provider needs to IPv6-enable their network before I can start advertising my IPv6 prefix to the rest of the IPv6-speaking world.
Is there any way at all to advertise an IPv6 prefix when using purely IPv4-only upstreams ?
... or am I stuck using 6-in-4 tunnels for the foreseeable future ?
Thanks in advance!

Terry Froy

You will want to contact IPv6 Transit Providers and ask them about it.
You can always setup an IPv6 in IPv4 to one of them, to a part of their network that does support IPv6. You might also consider using a different transit provider for IPv6 for the time being.
As for 'advertising IPv6 over IPv4', no that really isn't possible.

Jeroen,
Thanks for pointing me in the right direction.
Daniel @ Kewlio.net via the ipv6-ops mailing list has sorted me out with exactly what I need.
Regards,
Terry
