Configuring subnet to use on a small network.

Hi folks,
I'm sure this must be often asked, but I've spent the day reading and have got myself very confused, so thought I'd ask the experts before I went any further.
I've been using the single tunnel on one computer for a while using AYIYA as the type. I recently got a static IPV4 from my ISP (no V6 yet) and am firstly wondering if I should now change the tunnel type to be 6in4-static and what the impilcations are of that (do I still use AICCU on my linux box to create the interface etc).
Also, now that I have a subnet, are there any simple tutorials anywhere on setting up the network (mostly linux boxes) to use the IPV6 addresses? Also, if I do give each box its own IPV6 address is that routable (I think that's the term, can they be seen from outside directly, that would be good as I want to run some services off them hopefully without NAT).
Thank you and I do apologist if these are FAQ questions, but I really can't seem to find any answers that make sense to a newbie like myself.
Peter.

OK.. I think I've answered some of my questions, but I have more.. lol.
The tunnel type will need to stay as AYIYA until I get my router flashed with openwrt or similar (had it once, and reverted, but will try again later)..
So.. real questions.
I plan to use a VM on a host within my network as the end point (is that OK).. so I'll run AICCU on that, which will give me the tunnel end point address I assume.
Will radvd set up the routing for me between the address from my subnet I give eth0 and the sixxs interface? If not, what would that look like?
Do I need to do anything with my DNS system? I'm running an internal powerdns setup and then my ISP's as a secondary.
Sorry for the earlier questions, they are FAQ,
Peter.

radvd will not "set up the routing for me".
`/etc/init.d/radvd` start will verify that you have IPv6 in the kernel and that
/proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding is set non-zero.
radvd will advertise to the network behind your defined interface (in /etc/radvd.conf) that "there is a router here".
I prefer to assign a static address to this interface when the network is coming up, and before radvd (and later aiccu) gets started.
This can be done per clicky if you're into that kind of thing, or in /etc/network/interfaces or whatever your distro uses to define static addresses.
At that point, (watch it on wireshark from a second box on your ethernet), you will see the advertising from first_box and then traffic from third_box via first_box.
