Hello Michiel,

>But it need not be. The fact that the tunnel is used to supply an IPv6 address

> IPv4 address than the tunnel servicing the IPOv6 part.

>Yes, for a second tunnel, you need a different public IPv4 address for the end

I am learning as I go here. :-) Now... If my line of reasoning is reasonable I could setup a tunnel to a reflashed router with a public IP which would then service the IP's in use here. I have a router provided by my service provider that I am better off not messing with. I think I might have an older LinkSys router that I could use for testing different ideas. I may not be totally on the mark with my thinking "Yet" but I am working on it. :-)
