Planning for the future: IPv6 @Home and on my Server

Hi, all!
Today I requested my first subnet, that I want to use for my PCs at home.
Now, I have a vServer, too, and I'd like to have it with IPv6 too (right now, my vServer-Provider does not offer IPv6).
Of course, since I have OpenVPN running between my home-PC and my vServer, I can share my subnet between the vServer and home, but I'm not sure, that this is the right solution...
Maybe should I split my subnet and have some addresses at home and some others on my vServer? How?
I'd like to know your opinion and to know if I have to request another tunnel and another subnet for my vServer.
After that, I have another question: sooner or later the world will change to IPv6 and many Providers will offer native IPv6-connection.
If I have one (or more) subnet by SixXS, can I use them when my DSL-Provider and my vServer-Provider will activate IPv6-connection? How?
Thanks a lot for your suggestion!
Regards
Luca Bertoncello

If you have enough administration rights on your vServer (vServer can mean a lot of things, from a "room" at a webhotel to a virtual server running under ex vmware), install a separate tunnel and subnet for your vServer and @home.
When you can get native ipv6, you don't need sixxs, but get a subnet from your isp and vserver-provider.

Of course, I can request a new tunnel and subnet.
On this vServer I have root rights (Virtuozzo) and I can install the tunnel.
I just would like to know, if I could use the same subnet for home and vServer.
If not, and I can have two subnets (and tunnels), there is no problem!
Right now, I'll experiment at home. I need some weeks to get enough credits to request a new tunnel and subnet. Then I'll install all on the vServer.
Thanks

No. A tunnel is point to point. You might be able to do something with a VPN but it would be much simpler just to get another tunnel.
