You mean, tunnel directly to the end host? We have been thinking about extensions to allow that 'short-cut', AFTR-less mode. It is doable if you can establish a 1 to 1 mapping between the IPv4 and the IPv6 address **and** you find a way for host A to figure out host B's IPv4 and IPv6 addresses... - Alain.
