I successfully setup IPv6 using TunnelBroker on my RT-N66U running the latest version of Shibby’s Tomato.
I am trying to understand all the settings and would appreciate a little help. I am not sure what the setting Tunnel Remote Endpoint (IPv4 Address) is. Is this the current IPv4 address of the router and what happens when this changes? Can I use a domain name instead of the ip address?
Thanks for any advice and clarification.

It is the PUBLIC IPv4 address of your router. A domain name cannot be used. If you're subject to dynamic IPv4 allocation, there is a script to use whenever it changes: https://ipv4.tunnelbroker.net/nic/update?hostname=____ (fill the blanks in with the HE tunnel number).

So I would put the domain name after the = ?

I told you to put the TUNNEL ID NUMBER. It's the first item on your "detailed tunnel" display: "Tunnel ID:"
