That is an invalid 6to4 address as it would have a 6to4 gateway of 0.0.0.0.

One would think with all the "IPv6 consultants" in the US, that .gov
agencies would be able to get that part right...

Though, better point them out that 6to4 is a bad idea in general anyway.

I would not be surprised if the "DNS solution" generated that broken
address though as cf6c:8846 does map to 207.108.136.70 which matches the
A record.
