This seems a nice trick. So basically what you are suggesting, is to create **1** entry in the tunnelConfigTable that serves **all** tunnels (to all 6to4 relay routers and/or 6to4 routers)?

Well, if no such thing is created, I think that's an implementation issue.  
Anyway, RFC3056 is more of a ngtrans than ipng.  I don't see why you
couldn't create an entry for automatic tunnels, the only thing to watch
out for is that tunnelConfigRemoteAddress is zero.
