Does anybody know whether Linux could be set up to have packets
to 2002::/16 sent out over ipv4 ?

I would like to avoid using 6to4 relays for 2002::/16, admittedly
mostly for efficiency reasons.  It would be nice if my packets to
2002::/16 didn't need to travel around the world and incur half
second latencies...
