Boundary Conditions: The Gaussian Pillbox

A cylinder of linear, isotropic, homogeneous dielectric material is placed into an otherwise uniform electric field E0. To solve Laplace's Equation both inside and outside the sphere, you must apply boundary conditions. What are the boundary conditions for the potential V at the surface of a dielectric and where do they come from?
