Thanks.  That's weird because it is essentially what I have.  The
networking script tries to bring up the sit1 interface, but gets an
ioctl error (no such interface).  After the machine boots I can do an
"ifup sit1" by hand, which then works without errors.

/etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-sit1:
DEVICE=sit1
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6TUNNELIPV4=208.201.XXX.XXX          # XXX == redacted
IPV6TUNNELIPV4LOCAL=64.142.50.224
IPV6ADDR=2001:05a8:0004:07d2::1/64

/etc/sysconfig/network:
NETWORKING=yes
NETWORKING_IPV6=yes
HOSTNAME=arbol.wsrcc.com
IPV6_ROUTER=yes
IPV6FORWARDING=yes
IPV6_DEFAULTDEV=sit1
