Somebody asked me how to set up 6to4, so I did a little testing. Doesn't work: hades:~# ip route add ::/0 via 2002:c058:6301:: RTNETLINK answers: Invalid argument Works: hades:~# ip route add ::/0 via 2002:c058:6301::1 Unfortunately the first form is what I need: hades:~# host -t AAAA 6to4.ipv6.funet.fi 6to4.ipv6.funet.fi has AAAA address 2001:708:0:1::624 6to4.ipv6.funet.fi has AAAA address 2002:c058:6301:: So apparently there really is an inappropriate subnet router anycast sanity check. Please fix this!
