Note the ;-) above.  However, so far these have been singular events
at our 6to4 relay (that's why I thought it's worth mentioning).
AFAICS, nobody is really using the anycast relay for *anything* (the
100-300 flows I reported before include all traffic flowing through
our IPv6 backbone; actual 6to4 traffic is just a fraction, mostly
pings and some DNS queries).
