[CentOS] ip6tables forwarding rule

I have 2 boxes that act as IPv6 routers.  One with 2 physical 
interfaces, the other with 6 vlan 'interfaces' on one physical interface 
plus a second physical interface.  On both systems I have in 
/etc/sysconfig/network

IPV6FORWARDING=yes

But if I have my 'basic' ip6tables service running, only ICMP messages 
get through.  Since both of these boxes are Centos based, I can't use 
the new shorewall6 that requires at least FC9 (both boxes have shorewall 
for IPv4 routing controls).

Is there a 'simple' rule to add to forward all IPv6 traffic between the 
interfaces, with the other rules only impacting traffic for each host 
itself?
