Extend this to a site with, say 20,000 hosts, starting to use the shim

That would be highly annoying yes. ;) I suspect though it would be far
more fruitful to route this prefix normally within ones own domain. ;)
But the hosts don't even know they are assigned this prefix; it's the
shim that does it for them.
Which is why I think this approach (like other NATish approaches) most
likely ends up requiring a two-faced DNS.
That might be ok; we just have to understand the implications.
(It's not like I have a better way to do a shim proxy for legacy IPv6
hosts.)
