We had some prior discussion:
https://mailman.ampr.org/mailman/private/44net/2017-October/008621.html
And I think we concluded that when folks get native IP6 from their
providers they will have more than enough native space as they usually
assign a /64.

And its next to impossible and impracticable to try and obtain a
global ipv6 allocation for ham radio. (routing difficulty like to
day) So we seemed to conclude that a secured DNS where we can
register addresses from our native provider supplied pool for ham
radio purposes made the most sense. Then we can just create a white
list at each gateway from the master ham DNS.
Or that is what made sense to me./ seem to recall.

I've read
the FAQ, and see there is no equivalent IPv6 for our lovely
44/8.
My question is, can we utilize IPv6 with our IPv4 address embedded in it?
The reason
I want to be able to easily utilize message authentication with IPSEC AH.
As the discussion got sidetracked into unrelated issues, let's go back to
the
question. What exactly are you trying to accomplish? Of course it is
possible
to make some form of tunnel over IPv6 between two AMPRnet systems, and
transport
the 44/8 IPv4 traffic over that. But you will have to admin both sides of
the
tunnel. The existing tunnel network operates only over IPv4. When you want
to make your own branch, that connects to an existing place with AMPRnet
connectivity, and you want to do that over IPv6, that is certainly possible.
