Well that's what I do for my tunnel gateway and my dns server 
(ns.ipv6.x-tec.de)
Looks like I don't have to touch any kernel params as long as the box is 
atoconfigured.

from my /etc/network/interface
-snip-

iface eth0 inet6 static
        address 3ffe:0400:0b60::a
        netmask 64
        up echo 0 > /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/autoconf
