Is there an easy way I can set up IPv6 and a handful of machines on my LAN for testing, without requiring any IPv6 internet connection or an IPv6 assigned prefix?
If you do want an assigned prefix, or real connectivity and not want to set up a (static) tunnel it may be possible to use 6to4 if your router is not behind NAT. See http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/IPv6Guide#Tunnel_Configuration.
I did not test this myself (in Fedora), and 6to4 tends to be a bit flaky (in general) so ymmv.
I was thinking about the lowest barrier to entry possible so that as many people can test Fedora IPv6 next week, even if they're only testing it on their LAN.
Setting up 6to4 involves at least joining a service like sixxs, which even if free takes a certain amount of time and effort.
I just turned on radvd, and now my Fedora machines are getting IPv6 addresses. By adding DNS entries for a few machines, it's choosing IPv6 protocol by default for many things including writing (if not sending) this email.
