[CentOS] How To for IPV6

Hi,
 
I try to set up
-          A centos 6 firewall
-          With proxy-arp (I know: arp is not supported in ipv6)
with ipv6.
 
Arp does not exist for ipv6. So I have added: 
sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.default.proxy_ndp=1
To use the neighbor proxy facility.
 
How to activate ipv6 forwarding? As far as I have found, this changed in RHEL6 from 6.1 (/etc/sysconfig/network) to 6.2 (/etc/sysctl.conf). CentOS 6?
So I have used
                sysctl -w net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1 as in RHEL 6.2
 
As in ipv4 I would prefer to proxy the clients behind the firewall. 
 
eth0 is WAN, eth1 is LAN.
 
I have read to use
ip -6 neigh add proxy <ipv6 address of eth1> dev eth0
but 
ip -6 neigh show
shows nothing.
 
Then I have tried
                Ip -6 neigh add proxy <ipv6 address of client> dev eth0
Same result.
 
Is there any How To for ipv6 routing and proxying for CentOS?
 
Best regards
Helmut
