Converting v4 to v6 and vice versa would be a gateway.
There would also have to be a DNS translation function which would
convert the results of an external DNS query into ::10.2.3.4
notation.
I think it would be very neat to have such a dual gateway setup in a
Linux box, something scripted and automatic, a modified DNS caching
system I suppose. Darned shame I am not a programmer.
