Vista IPv6 DNS Question/Issue   
I am running Vista SP1 dual stack with an IPv6 ayiya tunnel from sixxs.net.
Installed the aiccu command line utility, and the v901 tap virtual network 
driver.

For some reason the Vista DNS service does not recognise my (non link-local) 
IPv6 address in my virtual network adapter (openvpn tap-Win32 v901) as 

being valid for enabling automatic "AAAA" IPv6 DNS lookups.  

As Per:  http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/bb727035.aspx

I am forced to "fake out" Vista into enabling "AAAA" lookups by setting a 
static IPv6 address on my physical network adapter of "2002:81a8:102::" (no 

default route).  This is just a temporary workaround.

What I really want to know is:

Is this a Microsoft bug, or is this an openvpn/aiccu/sixxs bug ?
I know other users have this issue, (100% replication)

Anyone else out there using sixxs.net ayiya tunnel broker with Vista SP1 ?

--Thanks!

For completeness sake, here is my ipconfig output for the two adapters in 
question: (including the fake-out ipv6 config for my wireless physical 
network 

adapter)
