Hmm...

Well, the kernel *should* recognize the 2002::/16 prefix and route it
over IPv4 directly, to the IPv4 address in the next 32 bits. I'm going
to try this with an USAGI kernel some day. I guess that is what
"CONFIG_IPV6_6TO4_NEXTHOP" is about in USAGI kernels. Let's take the
example of a machine having both an IPv4 and IPv6 access. A packet is
to be sent to an address in 2002:DEAD:BEEF::/48

 - Stock 2.4 linux seems (I think) to send the packet to the default
   IPv6 router, bringing a catch-22 when the default router is in
   2002:DEAD:BEEF::/48

 - USAGI kernel with CONFIG_IPV6_6TO4_NEXTHOP=Y would send it
   "directly" over IPv4 to 222.173.190.239 .

Yeah, I know.

Yes, and the really cool thing is that when Chello will setup their
own 6to4 router, you'll start using it immediately and automagically
:-)
