i test those ipv6 address on ubuntu 12.04, and it is ok. But now, we
should change system to Centos 6.3.
And i add all the stuff that i miss. One machine is configured like this:
[root@centosv0 sysconfig]# cat /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth2
DEVICE="eth2"
BOOTPROTO=static
HWADDR="60:A4:4C:23:2F:6F"
NM_CONTROLLED="yes"
ONBOOT="yes"
TYPE="Ethernet"
#UUID="0ddcf499-878f-4ac7-9d1a-c27f85d2bccf"
IPV6INIT=yes
IPV6ADDR=1:2:3::4/64
IPV6_DEFAULTGW=1:2:3::5/64
and add the below to /etc/sysctl.conf
net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding = 1
net.ipv6.conf.default.forwarding = 1
and through /proc i can see this
[root@centosv0 sysconfig]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/default/forwarding
1
[root@centosv0 sysconfig]# cat /proc/sys/net/ipv6/conf/all/forwarding
1
and through command ifconfig i can see this

As you said that the ipv6 address is in illegal scope and can not goto
global net,
I use those ipv6 address for a private use, and i test them ok on ubuntu
12.04.
Must i change ipv6 address to some thing like 2000::/3, even i just want to
use ipv6 for private?
IPv6 does not behave quite like IPv4 does

But the specific static routes are not connect directly, the peers are
connected by straight-through cable in eth2
client c <--> cetnosv0 eth1 <--> centosv0 eth2 <=====> centosv1 eth2 <-->
centosv1 eth1 <--> client d

here are connected by straight-through cable
