RTNETLINK answers: No route to host

I get this message whenever I give the "Ifup sixxs" command in debian.
I Have set my /etc/network/interfaces accordingly to the Linux debian Faq.
it looks like this:
auto sixxs
iface sixxs inet6 v4tunnel
address 3ffe:8114:1000::68a
netmask 127
endpoint 212.19.192.219
ttl 64
up ip link set mtu 1280 dev sixxs
up ip route add 2000::/3 via 3ffe:8114:1000::68b dev sixxs
After ifup I get this message: RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
If I give the commands by hand (As in Linux new FAQ) everything works out fine,
until this command: ip -6 ro add default via 3ffe:8114:1000::68a dev sixxs
I get the same message: RTNETLINK answers: No route to host
Afterwards I can seem to ping both ends of the tunnel, but showehow this
looks a bit like the linux-2.4.21 bug so I would be just pinging myself.
But pingen an random chosen IP out here in the forum is not possible.
@ the moment I'm trying to compile an 2.4.20 kernel. but I'm not sure this is going to work.
Anyone any idea???
Thanks
Marc (Newbie).

Anycast is NOT a bug. It's a real live feature, that it only was implemented until 2.4.21 in the Linux kernels is a shame.

Anycast is adressing one of many hosts with one address, or is it? There's a lot of myths out there and this IETF Draft tries to clarify:
The memo tries to identify the problems and issues in the use of IPv6 anycast [Hinden, 1998] defined as of today. The goals of the draft are
to understand the currently-defined IPv6 anycast better,
to provide guidelines for people trying to deploy anycast services, and
to suggest updates to IPv6 anycast protocol specification.

Using 2 /128's (one to the localside and one to the remote over the interface) with the IPng POP solves this 'problem'
