Hi,

I would not recommend to run any nat over protocol versions for
clients as you would need to break DNSsec.
The clients creating connections should run dual-stack or dual-stack lite.

The only useful thing for service providers would be to proxy/nat lets
say an incoming IPv6 connection to still only IPv4 servers/services.
