>Description:
I made net/6tunnel package.
6tunnel allows you to use services provided by IPv6 hosts with IPv4-only
applications and vice-versa. It can bind to any of your IPv4 (default) or
IPv6 addresses and forward all data to IPv4 or IPv6 (default) host.
6tunnel can also be used as a tunnel for all other combinations of IPv4 and
IPv6 endpoints. If remote host doesn't have any IPv6 addresses, 6tunnel will
use the IPv4 one. In other cases, use -4 parameter which makes IPv4 address
the preffered one. For IPv6-to-any tunnels use -6 which makes 6tunnel bind
to IPv6 address.
Just run "6tunnel 9000 eu.irc6.net 6667" and you're able to IRC via IPv6
using IPv4-only client! :) (of course it isn't the only purpose of 6tunnel)
I can't test it on IPv4-only system (like pre-1.5) because all my
boxes are IPv6-ready ;-)
