A whole 30 seconds? You can actually get proper IPv6 connectivity in
that amount of time, if you have a public IPv4 address:
echo IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=tun6to4 >> /etc/sysconfig/network
echo IPV6INIT=yes >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
echo IPV6TO4INIT=yes >> /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0
More details, and how to set it up to route for a whole subnet of
machines so that all you have to do is plug them in, at
