   Hello Tommi,

   Ah, now I get it. You use the http proxy feature of binkd! I never thought   
   about that. I always skipped that section in the docs, thinking "I will most   
   likely never need that". I never realised it could be used for a 4to6 proxy as   
   well. And the reason for that in turn is because I do not need a 4to6 proxy   
   for my binkd. It handles IPv6 natively...   
      
   Of course this trick only works for binkd. We see two "IO" flags in the list   
   of IPv6 nodes. It is my understanding that they use a 6to4 relay for incoming.   
   They have no outgoing IPv6 for their binkd client. They both run Radius. Your   
   trick won't work for them...   
      
      
   Cheers, Michiel
