No, you're simply obliged to route IPv6, even if your current IPv4 setup
uses NAT.  My understanding is that the formulators of IPv6 view NAT as
a hack that works around the limitations in IPv4 that they removed in
IPv6.  To a certain extent i understand their philosophy, although i'm
not convinced NAT is as evil as they say it is...

Did you know?  Email viruses spread using addresses they find on the
host computer.  You can help to reduce the spread of these viruses by
using Bcc: instead of To: on mass mailings, or using mailing list
software such as mailman (http://www.list.org/) instead.
