I've just checked my systems and the format recommended above by Paul 
works fine on both Lenny and Squeeze.

I have:

allow-hotplug eth0
iface eth0 inet static
         address 10.3.0.89
         netmask 255.255.0.0
         network 10.3.0.0
         broadcast 10.3.255.255
         gateway 10.3.0.20
         dns-nameservers 10.3.0.89
         dns-search sinodun.org.uk

iface eth0 inet6 static
         address 2001:08B0:00E9:0001:0250:43FF:FE01:5024
         netmask 64

on my gateway machine.

Cheers,
John
