I did the below as you suggested.  I understand the endpoint but I'm
confused about the routed address.  The client ipv6 address is
2001:470:1f04:1a82::2/64 I'm assuming thats what I use for the routed
address.  It fails to bring up the interface.

auto he-ipv6
iface he-ipv6 inet6 v4tunnel
   netmask 64
   ttt 64
   endpoint 72.52.104.74
   up ip route add ::/0 dev he-ipv6 metric 1
   post-up ip -6 addr add 2001:470:1f04:1a82::2/64 dev he-ipv6
