It is not magic, it is a script. ;-)
My fellow sysop, Kees van Eeten has a script dat periodically checks the nodelist for nodes that advertise an IPv6 address in the host name. If he finds new ones, he reports them to me. I attempt to make an IPv6 connect. If it succeeds, I add the node to the list. If it fails, I try to contact the sysop to help solve the problem. Sometimes these attempts are successful, sometimes they are not.

You have to manually configure it as a fixed address. I see you run Linux, so I can't help you there. I am not famliar with Linux.
