    True Mac spoofing is not needed.

     

    I see two strange things. 1. Teredo interfaces are being enabled. Setup 2 interfaces behind edge device normally skips this step as Teredo only works with Public IPv4 addresses on the DA servers. 2. The pseudo network adapter is not getting an address assigned.

     

    What is the output of the powershell command "get-NetDnsTransitionConfiguration" ?

Configure the ::1 as the DIP on the first server (static IPv6 on the NIC). Then when running the LB wizard you will be asked to specify the new DIP. The ::1 will then automatically become the VIP. So as a DIP set ::2 while running the LB wizard, this address will be set on the NIC while the ::1 will automatically becomes the VIP and if everything goes right also the IP address for the 6to4 DNS server.

 

The IPHTTPS prefix is set in the DA config part in the remote access server part under prefixes and then IPv6 prefixes assigned to DA clients.
