After seeing the functionality of the IP6 tunnel that I acquired not
long ago. I decided to acquire a second tunnel for my 1:282/1031 node.
I should mention that due to some software issues I have decided to
once again merge 1:282/1031, 1:14/5, 1:14/0 into one system.
I have updated the DNS to reflect the new IPv6 address of 2001:470:1f10:133::2 for 1:282/1031 (bbs.ouijabrd.net) and 1:14/5 (ftn.region14.org).

I see that it all ends on ::2. So you are using the tunnel endpoints for
nodes.from
Are you aware that - if they are on the same LAN - you do not need a sepearate
tunnel for each node, but that you can have a routed subnet (/64 or /48)
he.net and use just one tunnel for all the nodes om your LAN?

I had the understanding that the tunnel was related to a static v4 endpoint IP. Here each PC (FTN Node) has it's own static v4 IP. Are
you saying that a single tunnel can support multiple static v4 IP endpoints?
The tunnel does not "support" a static IPv4 endpoint. It is more the other wayand
around. A tunnel needs a public IPv4 address for its end point. The same publi
IPv4 address can be used for other purposes, such as a Fidonet Binkp server.
But it need not be. The fact that the tunnel is used to supply an IPv6 address
to the same binkd server is irrelevant. The binkp server can be on a different
IPv4 address than the tunnel servicing the IPOv6 part.
Yes, for a second tunnel, you need a different public IPv4 address for the end
point.
My point is: you probably do not need a second tunnel. A tunnel is a channel
the rest of the world that can handle many IPv6 addresses. Just like an IPv4 router can make you connect many device to the IPv4 internet via a single channel, so can a tunnel for IPv6.
You can assign different IPv6 addresses to 1:282/1031 and 1:14/6 over one
the same tunnel.
How this is done and if it is "better" in your situation is another matter.
I am learning as I go here. :-) Now... If my line of reasoning is reasonable I could setup a tunnel to a reflashed router with a public
IP which would then service the IP's in use here.
