   |   - fix the DHCP setup to not provide a default route for IPv6
 
 That one is the "correct" solution for the setup described.
 Make the default route go away.  You don't need it for your
 lolal network, even if you have multiple v6 prefixes in use
 on different LANs.
 
   |   - fix the DNS setup (e.g. by using a DNS cache that filters external
   |     IPv6 responses)
 
 Might work, but is the wrong way.
 
   |   - pick a sane provider that properly supports dual stack access
   |     (yes, I know that my be hard)
   |   - use a tunnel service to get proper external IPv6 routed to your
   |     local network (Hurricane electric are an example of a free offer f=
 or that)
 
  Those two amount to 'change the environment', which would be better
  long term - it is really unconsciable these days for any ISP to
  not fully support v6, and losing customers becausr=3De of that is the
  way they get taught.
 
   |  So even if that may sound a bit harsh, I would not consider this a bu=
 g
   |  in the installer.
 
 Definitely is not.   Martin, close this.
