[etc] We are trying hard to make F available from our anycast nodes on its IPv6 address. Finding exchange points which (a) will give you v6 addresses and (b) have peers which will peer with you over IPv6 is not trivial, however.

Which gets announced as a /48 thus doesn't come through the filters...
If that doesn't make it through your filters, then your filters are broken. 2001:500:1::/48 is an ARIN micro-allocation, and it is perfectly legitimate to advertise it with no covering /32 supernet. Incidentally, F is also announced as a /48, and is also an ARIN micro allocation (the first one they made, in fact). 2001:500::/48 seems to get through your filters ok. Joe
