I started a post on the forum,in using a terminal based OVZ administration solution,and one of its features,is creating RedHat and Debian containers on the fly.
One of its networking options,is IPv6 auto-configuration.
In my testing of adding auto-IPv6 to this script awhile back,Debian containers did in fact configure on RedHat Nodes.
In my alpha/beta testing of my software offering,I could not get Debian containers to auto-config.
After retracing my steps,the solution was simple.
You do not need to go out on a limb.
It does not require any module to be loaded on a container.
If you use this OS template cache for Debian with OVZ;
debian-5.0-x86.tar.gz
you need to download a different Debian OS template cache,if you want IPv6 auto-configuration support on RedHat Nodes.
The one that works,is actually archived in the TEMPLATE section of the OVZ wiki.
The template you need is;
debian-5.0-minimal.tar.gz
Why this one works,and the other does not,is not my call.
Here is a shot of a IPv4 DHCP and IPv6 auto-configured Debian
container.
[root@stooge ~]# vzctl enter 4101
entered into CT 4101
root@localhost:/# ifconfig

If you want IPv6 auto-conf only give the Debian container,a blank static network configuration.
Thought I would pass it along.
