To talk from a 6to4 address to a non-6to4 IPv6 address you route via ::192.88.99.1 which is an AnyCast address. Unfortunately, last time I looked the nearest 192.88.99.1 AnyCast announcement appeared to be in Germany. Is there any chance of someone putting forward 6to4 anycast gateway in the APE and/or the WIX? Of course the problem here is that probably 50% of it's traffic will be international.
... in which case it makes more sense for individual ISPs to install their own 6to4 gateways for the use of their customers, and not announce it to peers or transit providers, so that the international traffic it sinks or generates is attributable to a paying customer. This still relies on some v6 infrastructure to be deployed in the ISP, and the general domestic traffic issue (for all v6 destinations) remains unless there's some domestic v6 peering. Joe
