6to4 uses protocol 41 over IP. This doesn't go through NAT
Those statements are both true, but they're unrelated. If your NAT box knows there is more to IP than TCP and UDP, it's possible that you can do IPv6-in-IP tunneling in general (protocol 41) through the NAT box, but that doesn't help 6to4 because your 6to4 address range is constructed from your IPv4 address which can't be done successfully using RFC 1918 addresses.
stateful firewalls (generally).
Depends on the firewall and how it's configured. This is a problem, because if you use public addresses but protocol 41 is blocked, IPv6 stuff needs to time out.
if you're a enterprise-esque network operator who runs non-RFC1918 addresses internally and do NAT, or you do stateful firewalling, PLEASE, run a 6to4 relay on 192.88.99.1 internally, but return ICMPv6 unreachable/admin denied/whatever to anything that tries to send data out through it. Better yet, tell your firewall vendor to allow you to inspect the contents of 6to4 packets, and optionally run your own 6to4 relay, so outgoing traffic is fast.
Right.
Even if you don't want to deploy IPv6 for some time, do this at the very least RIGHT NOW, or you're preventing those of us who want to deploy AAAA records alongside our A records from doing so.
Well, I don't care: you break it, you buy it. But I can see how people who make money from their content would...
