My tunnel broker has a machine with broken IPv4 routing, which they
can't fix. It's been down for a week+ now. We had to renumber that
location in time for World IPv6 day. We only had 6 machines that were
using their non-autoconfigured addresses, so the rest was just a s///g
in the DNS zone file.
6to4 would have turned this into my problem (which I could have fixed),
but since some places like google refuse to run their own 6to4 relay, I
can't really use 6to4 to talk to. Thanks.
This all reminds of how killing the mbone killed multicast.
