Adding a machine at a different IPv4 to a SIXXS subnet?

Hello A quick presentation of my network: - home : ipv4 ISP, with a fritzbox 7390 providing a SIXXS tunnel and subnet - work : same ipv4 ISP, with a diffent IPv4, behind NAT+firewall Currently my work machine is using an openvpn over ssl in ipv4. Now I would like to add my work machine to my SIXXS subnet. I've read a bit about openvpn and ipv6, and I believe there might be easier solutions. It would also be a good opportunity to learn. So could someone recommand which are the best ways to do that, or point me to documentation offering some suggestions? Also, I would like to know how this could also be applied for a laptop moving to various IPv4 wifi network. I've read about AYIYA but I don't think I can just use :3 and hope it will work. I could ask for another tunnel, but that would seem wasteful. Using the fritzbox as a vpn server for ipv6 services, or working around the firewall which only allows http and https seems much more interesting. Guylhem

Only ::1 (the PoP) and ::2 (your endpoint) are active and as it is a point to point tunnel and not a point to multipoint tunnel, you can't terminate it at two places at the same time either. Best solution for you is to just ask for a second tunnel. Even better is to get your work place fully IPv6 enabled. Of course there might be questions on network policy in that area when you are opening up your work network that way.

That confirms the idea I got reading on the forum - asking for a 2nd tunnel is the easiest option. Do you know if AYIYA server code is available somewhere? I could run a server on my fritbox and give away /64 to my work machine, simply keeping a SSL tunnel between them.
