IPv4 inside IPv6 tunnel

I run a IPv6-only VPS.
In order for it to access IPv4 hosts, I need to setup a tunnel to my another server (IPv4-enabled) or use some public service.

What technologies exist at the moment for IPv4 inside IPv6 tunnel?

i am guessing tunnelled traffic itself is protocol agnostic to some degree.
IMHO shit should just work. But i never tried it this way.

6to4 supported by kernel, but you should use v6 over v4, i.e. interfaces with ipv4 from both sides gives you ipv6 inside
or
IP-in-IPv6 supported too, that seems whatewer you want.
