Ok, policy is policy and we should not complain. However, I'm asking your opinions about this policy. I find this really stupid because this completely brakes use for 6to4 in Germany and their is no good reason to block it.
Someone once asked Angela Merkel what she liked most about Germany. She replied "Ich denke an dichte Fenster! Kein anderes Land kann so dichte und so schöne Fenster bauen"
("I think ... thick windows. No other country can build windows which are as thick or as nice.")
Actually, the translation is: "I think about airtight windows. No other country can build widows that are this airtight and this beautiful." dicht = airtight, dick = thick.
This might just be a cultural thing. While lots of countries have a love affair with doing things badly, Germany realises the value of quality infrastructure.
6to4 is ghetto. DE-NIC doesn't like it. Putting a DNS server on a 6to4 address serves no other purpose than to say: "There! I fixed it!"
