6to4 - can't ping 192.88.99.1?

Hi all,

Once again I'm trying to get connected to the IPv6 world, but I think
I've now hit a problem with my ISP (or further upstream). But before I
go bugging them about it, I figured I'd ask some experts.

So here goes... I'm trying the default 6to4 approach:
$ ip tunnel add tun6to4 mode sit ttl 255 remote any local $WANIP6
$ ip -6 route add 2000::/3 via ::192.88.99.1 dev tun6to4

But I can't reach any sites via IPv6. And I think it's because of this:

aschuring@neminis:~$ traceroute 192.88.99.1
traceroute to 192.88.99.1 (192.88.99.1), 30 hops max, 60 byte packets
1 gw.loos.site (172.22.21.1) 0.672 ms 1.513 ms 1.747 ms
2 213.197.27.154 (213.197.27.154) 18.367 ms 19.254 ms 19.463 ms
3 213.197.27.117 (213.197.27.117) 20.755 ms 21.175 ms 21.880 ms
4 ge-0.2.0.core1.ams.bb.your.org (204.9.53.58) 22.959 ms 23.564 ms
25.655 ms
5 * * *
6 * * *
[...]


But I don't know where to go from here. The last IP address belongs to a
small registrar in Illinois, which doesn't really make sense to me, but
I don't know how the 192.88.99.1 anycast addresses are maintained. Would
it make sense for me to ask my ISP to verify their routing tables?


Thanks for any help you can give me,

Arno
