Before that they used our (Tele2) 6to4 relays in Amsterdam and Paris. I
think this was discussed here 1-2 years back.
I couldn't find it, but
<http://gpshead.blogspot.com/2009/01/consumer-router-ipv6-firewall-fail.html>
says the same thing.
I urge more people to look up what 6to4 relays you're using and set up
your own if needed. People *are* using it and you not doing it is making
things worse for your customers. Yes, 6to4 is generally bad but it's out
there. Everybody needs to think about it.
