Belated follow-up.

There's now a 6to4 relay router running in AS 3557, 6to4.sql1.isc.org 
(192.5.4.242). That router is originating the RFC 3068 prefix 
192.88.99.0/24 and the 6to4 covering prefix 2002::/16, but neither of 
those routes are being advertised to peers or transit providers at 
present.

If anybody feels like manually pointing stf0 at 192.5.4.242 to try 
things out, I'd be interested to hear any feedback. This may be of 
particular interest to people wanting to use 6to4 tunnels to reach 
v6-hosted services which live at ISC (e.g. ftp.netbsd.org, 
ftp.freebsd.org).
