Most of the issues you mention are not exactly properties of NAT (or a NAT IPv6->IPv4), but properties of the DNS-ALG: - breaking DNSsec - getting unwanted translated address I've long argued that if you remove the DNS-ALG piece of the picture, things become simpler. I'm planing to write a document before the cut-off date to summarize the discussion Itojun & I had a little while back to compare a DNS-ALG solution to a well know prefix one. - Alain.

We have tried to write down the issues involved in translating between IPv4 and IPv6, see: http://www.ietf.org/internet-drafts/\ draft-vanderpol-v6ops-translation-issues-00.txt Comments are welcome. rvdp
