[Users] IPv6 again but this time with veth

Oh. I got lost! Could I try to describe it again?

My HW node is staj-dev:

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
         address 195.113.233.4
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         network 195.113.233.0
         broadcast 195.113.233.255
         gateway 195.113.233.1
         dns-nameservers 195.113.144.233 195.113.144.194
         dns-search cesnet.cz

iface eth0 inet6 static
         post-up /sbin/sysctl -w "net.ipv6.conf.eth0.autoconf=0"
         address 2001:718:1:e::23:3004
         netmask 64

My VE node, has this config (ip6v2-test):

auto eth0
iface eth0 inet static
         address 195.113.233.12
         netmask 255.255.255.0
         network 195.113.233.0
         broadcast 195.113.233.255
         gateway 195.113.233.4
         dns-nameservers 195.113.144.233 195.113.144.194
         dns-search cesnet.cz


eth0 inet6 static
         iface eth0 inet6 static
         address 2001:718:1:e::23:3012
         netmask 64

After executing:

brctl addbr vzbr0
brctl addif vzbr0 veth012.0
ifconfig vzbr0 0
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vzbr0/forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/vzbr0/proxy_arp
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/forwarding
echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/eth0/proxy_arp
ip route add 195.113.233.12 dev vzbr0
ip route add 2001:718:1:e::23:3012 dev vzbr0

**MARK**

VE starts to be reachable from Internet on IPv4. What should I do next?

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/eth0/forwarding

somehow broke IPv6 for HW node.

echo 1 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/vzbr0/forwarding

cause no problem.

Well - returning to point marked as **MARK**.

VE is missing default GW, I expect it to show there somehow automaticaly 
like in HW node... maybe this is one of my bugs.

When I try to ping my HW node, for that I've routes there I get:

> root at ip6v2-test:/# ping6 2001:718:1:e::23:3004
> PING 2001:718:1:e::23:3004(2001:718:1:e::23:3004) 56 data bytes

> From 2001:718:1:e::23:3012 icmp_seq=2 Destination unreachable: Address unreachable

and on HW node:

> staj-dev:~# tcpdump -i vzbr0
> tcpdump: WARNING: vzbr0: no IPv4 address assigned
> tcpdump: verbose output suppressed, use -v or -vv for full protocol decode
> listening on vzbr0, link-type EN10MB (Ethernet), capture size 96 bytes

When I try oposite direction:

Any thoughts, please?
