 In your previous mail you wrote:

   I'm a home user with a dynamic IPv4 address, and it works just fine
   for me.

=> is your 6to4 prefix changing with your dynamic IPv4 address?
I think most users would like to get a *static* IPv6 prefix...

   I'd say it's far more useful for home users than configured
   tunnels is, since 6to4 can deal with dynamic IPv4 addresses much better
   than configured tunnels.
   
=> but is it much better than configured tunnels + my draft
(draft-ietf-ngtrans-hometun-00.txt)?

PS: I really need to implement my draft in order to have a tunnel
broker with support somewhere. I have a free FreeBSD 4.1 here,
is this good for tunnel broker people?
