So you need more than NAT in any case. Doing IPv4 IPv6 "on the wire" would be a bit tough on the hardware (or even kernel, if that's what you had in mind) and I don't see this usable outside of a lab, at least because of logging requirements, not to mention virtual host handling and various other HTTP tricks we might need to pull. So application-level proxying looks like the logical answer, and that's what we're doing. OB: You can’t use simple NAT since we’re talking about converting IPv4 IPv6.
