In order for DirectAccess to communicate over the Internet, bridging protocols such as 6to4 or Teredo have to be used to encapsulate IPv6 packets over any IPv4 medium or network device.

There is nothing wrong with sending a request for IPv6 addresses over IPv4 or the other way around, though. 6to4 creates some problems

The problem with 6to4 is that it depends on gateways operated by volunteers.

Let's fix that: Macs would use the 6to4 automatic tunneling mechanism where available in the past, but since the Mac OS X 10.6.5 update that came out last year

Mac OS X 10.6 update, pretty much all operating systems prefer to use IPv4 over 6to4 IPv6 so broken 6to4 shouldn't cause any problems if there is still working IPv4.

Broken IPv6 connectivity is often caused by 6to4 tunnels that don't work. 6to4 is a system whereby a computer or a home gateway can create IPv6 addresses from an IPv4 address and connect to the IPv6 Internet by encapsulating IPv6 packets inside IPv4 packets.
