Probably doesn't work so well if you have 6k people behind the same  
NAT, and they all try and use proto-41, though.
If you have 6,000 people behind a single NAT, proto-41 is probably the
least of your concerns, and Randy Bush may or may not be thinking of
awarding you an Innovative Engineering Award. :)

the problem with these hokey things to show ipv6 works, or to get ipv6
to a home user, is that they don't really scale. they're good for
marketing but not for long run real operations.

and that would be ok, in a sense; it's just marketing.  the problem is
when the marketing flack obscures getting real work done on making ipv6
scalable and deployable.
