Redhat 6to4 autoconfiguraton

I'm having some issues with Redhat 9 and 6to4 on a dynamic (DHCP) IP. My
current configuration looks like


eth0 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50:BF:FE:4F:1F
inet addr:66.183.167.84 Bcast:66.183.191.255 Mask:255.255.224.0
inet6 addr: fe80::250:bfff:fefe:4f1f/64 Scope:Link

eth1 Link encap:Ethernet HWaddr 00:50A:06:FA:C4
inet addr:10.0.0.1 Bcast:10.0.255.255 Mask:255.255.0.0
inet6 addr: fe80::250:daff:fe06:fac4/64 Scope:Link

tun6to4 Link encap:IPv6-in-IPv4
inet6 addr: 2002:42b7:a754::1/16 Scope:Global

tun6to4 is automatically configured on boot and, from this box, I can ping
off to the ipv6 world. However, I would like eth1 to automatically set
itself to 2002:42b7:a754:1::1 *and* for that address to change
automatically if or when my ISP (Telus) changes my IPv4 address. The
Redhat documentation is extremely vague on this point; the only lead I
have is

ifcfg-eth0:

IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6TO4INIT=yes
IPV6TO4_CONTROL_RADVD=yes
IPV6TO4_ROUTING="eth1-:1::0/64"

Which only sets up a route, not an address.

What Am I Missing?

Other than doing it out of personal interest, is it really worth it
right now? I can't imagine Telus or anybody else being close to
switching to IP6 even within 3 years.

This is strictly a personal-interest project. FWIW, Telus doesn't know
when Telus is adding IPv6 support either.
