Yes, that is the portproxy service of feste-ip.net that I wrote about in my Fidonews articles about my DS-Lite emulation experiments. I kept it just to be prepaired in case my provider converts me to DS-Lite overnight. ;-)
TK> Just polled you with ipv4. What do you see?

2001:1608:10:199:a::208 is the IPv6 address of the port proxy. I would not call it a fake address, it is a "real" address, it pings.
But of course there is no binkp server answering at that address. Port proxies normally operate just one way.
With IPv4 one could usually call back on the same IPv4 address. With IPv6 that is not a given...
