	no, 6to4 router for any sites, not just relay routers.

	if a node in 6to4 site A (2002:xxxx:xxxx::/48) tries to talk to a node
	in 6to4 site B (2002:yyyy:yyyy::/48), 6to4 router for site A
	will directly contact 6to4 router for site B.  therefore, any 6to4
	routers will need to accept tunnelled packet from anybody.

	if you've done the first sentence, packets from other 6to4 sites will
	get (mistakenly) rejected.

>I think the relays are quite problematic because of this behavior.

	the problem is not just relays, but all 6to4 routers.
