Tunnelbroker.net can use a dynamic update feature so that the
static IPv6 address is only momentarily interrupted when the
underlying v4 address is changed out. This is quite reliable if
you hook it to the the DHCP client's post-up function.

I use this in preference to my ISPs native v6 support because
tunnelbroker (Hurricane Electric) supplies static v6
assignments, and my ISP does not.
