Unless you're able to test with OS X earlier than 10.6, I don't think
there's any point.  But if you have anything earlier than that, it would
be nice to find out the reason why it seems to (sometimes?) prefer 6to4
over IPv4 - as I pointed out in another message there appears to be two
distinct cases of IPv6 misbehavour in OS X, the link describes only one
of them.

Great!  No rush.  :-)  Breaking IPv6/6to4 for OS X isn't really a
problem for me/my customers if OS X able to gracefully fail back to IPv4
without the user noticing.

Best regards, and thanks again,
