Won't current Windows clients work just fine in this case?
I have no idea what a fix should look like for some of the non-Windows systems I care about, unfortunately.
No, unfortunately broken 6to4 auto-configuration (ie, in Vista, XPSP2, when on a non-RFC1918 IP address) breaks, and you get 90s timeouts before falling back to IPv4/A. Works fine most of the time, however when that non-RFC1918 address is behind NAT, or some sort of packet filter, then it doesn't work so well, and the client does not have a way to detect that reliably. -- Nathan Ward
