Uh, what?

Who are you and what happens to the Jeroen I know who understands IPv6,
and knows that 6to4 addresses do (unlike Teredo) not call a reference
to the gateway in there...  and that the biggest part of the actual
*problem* with 6to4 is exactly the anycast nature of it's current
deployment...?

I certainly agree with that sentiment, though.  6to4 should never ever
(NEVER!) show up in public DNS for servers, as "just stick to IPv4" is 
guaranteed to give better service.
