Are the required DNS Servers the same thing as the "Available DNS Resolvers" mentioned on the tunnelbroker tunnel details page?

Yes, obviously! A "DNS resolver" is a "caching only" DNS server, i. e. it doesn't operate and hence isn't authoritative for any DNS zones. Instead it only asks other DNS servers to resolve names. It is a good choice to use the DNS resolvers offered by your Providers: They can answer your DNS queries very quickly because there is a high probabiltiy that queries can be answered from the resolver's cache.

Thanks, it's amazing how much I don't know about the network world (ipv6, dns, gateways etc).  Now that I seem to have the DIR-645 up and running with ipv6, now I'm trying to get a pfsense server up and running with ipv6, running under the DIR-645 and it seems to be even trickier (as far as terminology that confuses me).

Thanks all for the help getting the DIR-645 up with the IPv6 in IPv4 tunnel.

Why pfsense? Why don't you simply use the IPv6 firewall built into DIR-645 (see page 88 of DIR-645 manual: http://www.manualowl.com/m/D-Link/DIR-645/Manual/224685)?

Select "Turn IPv6 Filtering ON and ALLOW rules listed" and then specify and activate (tick the checkbox) a single rule which allows any outgoing traffic (Source: LAN, Dest: WAN, Protocol: ANY, Schedule: Always, Name: whatever you like, both IP Address Ranges: top field: :: bottom field: ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff:ffff) (I'm not sure how D-Link wants to have the zero value for the top field, if :: doesn't work try ::0 or 0:0:0:0:0:0:0:0)

Edit: This configuration will drop any incoming unsolicited traffic (responses to your outgoing requests are allowed of course because the firewall is stateful). Check this by trying the following portscanner: http://ipv6.chappell-family.com/ipv6tcptest/.

Apples and Oranges, I am going to be using the pfsense system to replace a SonicWall unit at my church.  the DIR-645 is at my house.

Sorry for misunderstanding. Good luck with pfsense!
