Thanks for clearing that up for me. One last question: I noticed that when left
on autoconfig my windows 7 clients automatically add dns addresses
fec0:0:0:ffff::1 to 3. I'm assuming these are anycast addresses for auto dns
config? So if I add the addresses to my servers I'm set? These (auto dns
config) behaviour has not occurred with my linux (Fedora16) clients. How can I
enable this feature?
Thanks again

I'm not aware of any user space client for Linux except DHCPv6, which is
able to set DNS servers in /etc/resolv.conf.
Kernel itself can't modify such files.

No, IPv6 can handle link local addresses proper for default gateway
(that's btw. more an advantage than an issue).

Yes, please put your IPv6 related firewall rules into the IPv6
forwarding chain (you should have similar rules for IPv4 in the IPv4
forwarding rule, regardless of NAT for IPv4).
