From experience, you can do static NAT at your border for a set of 
prefixes while routing them internally normally. The NAT is quite 
invisible within your AS, as it is outside your AS - only your 
borders know it.

You wouldn't need split DNS for the shim6 site-intermediary case 
AFAICT, because the locator addresses would never be reachable - only 
the mapped address would ever be a valid address to try reach.

Split DNS is fairly evil btw.
