If you do not have a public IPv6 address that enables your system to communicate over IPv6 outside your local network, you can obtain one from an IPv6 broker. 如果您没有一个公共IPv6地址，使您的系统能够在本地网络外通过IPv6进行通信，您可以从IPv6代理获得一个。The Wikipedia IPv6 Tunnel Broker page lists several brokers and their features, such as whether they provide static addresses and the supported routing protocols.维基百科IPv6隧道代理页面列出了几个代理及其功能，例如它们是否提供静态地址和支持的路由协议。

After configuring your server host to use a broker-supplied IPv6 address, start the MySQL server with an appropriate bind_address setting to permit the server to accept IPv6 connections. 将服务器主机配置为使用代理提供的IPv6地址后，使用适当的bind_address设置启动MySQL服务器，以允许服务器接受IPv6连接。You can specify * (or ::) as the bind_address value, or bind the server to the specific IPv6 address provided by the broker. 您可以将*（或::）指定为bind_address值，或将服务器绑定到代理提供的特定IPv6地址。For more information, see the bind_address description in Section 5.1.8, “Server System Variables”.有关更多信息，请参阅第5.1.8节，“服务器系统变量”中的bind_address描述。

Note that if the broker allocates dynamic addresses, the address provided for your system might change the next time you connect to the broker. If so, any accounts you create that name the original address become invalid. 请注意，如果代理分配动态地址，则下次连接到代理时，为系统提供的地址可能会更改。如果是这样，您以原始地址创建的任何帐户都将无效。To bind to a specific address but avoid this change-of-address problem, you might be able to arrange with the broker for a static IPv6 address.为了绑定到特定地址但避免这种地址更改问题，您可以与代理协商一个静态IPv6地址。

The following example shows how to use Freenet6 as the broker and the gogoc IPv6 client package on Gentoo Linux.以下示例显示了如何在Gentoo Linux上使用Freenet6作为代理和gogoc IPv6客户端包。
