How plentiful are anycast 6to4 Relay Routers?

hello ross,

...

> %traceroute6 2002:c058:6301::
> traceroute6 to 2002:c058:6301:: (2002:c058:6301::) from 2002:4250:2::1, 30 
> hops max, 12 byte packets
>   1  2002:c058:6301::  187.625 ms  186.123 ms  184.937 ms

why dont you use a "real" tunnelbroker instead of the anycast?

imho the anycast is good for the first tests but for more i prefere tunnels
with either 3ffe or 2001 space :)
