Really, you only need DNS64/NAT64 if you want to completely eliminate IPv4 in
your network. With a dual stack, e.g. using both, it is completely
unnecessary. I would say if you do need them, they are completely different
functions than what DNSMASQ provide. As such, they should be just completely
different code.

I read over some code a bit before bed, and believe I should have a
hack together in 2-3 days time that covers just the "Well Known
Prefix" (currently 64:FF9B::/96) with constant RDATA for PTRs. I
believe this to be the setup most likely for home routers. Then it's
simply a single command-line switch to enable DNS64 behavior or not.
No worries about other prefixes for me at this point.
Tho before proceeding, was there any other work done with this by
anyone? Shouldn't take much I think to implement _after_ I learn at
least how a few things are working.. Looking to throw some ideas
around. I'm more a hacker/tinkerer than a programmer but I've a draft
to follow so it shouldn't be too whack ;)
There was a brief conversation about this subject here:
http://lists.thekelleys.org.uk/pipermail/dnsmasq-discuss/2010q4/004635.html
The conclusion seems to be that it's a red-herring for dnsmasq, is that
right? (I don't know anything about DNS64 and have no opinion).
