Not in production, but we've installed it for testing. We immediately ran 
into problems that was MTU related where viagenie mismatched the 2 byte 
MTU in IPv4 with 4 byte in IPv6 and didn't handle that. After reporting 
this we quickly received a patch that fixed the problem.

They also seem to have other fixes not available in the public 
distribution (this was a month ago, might have changed).

So my take on this is that viagenie responds well to mail and will fix 
things, but the software has not been widely tested and is not production 
quality right now.
