Hi,

I have received a number of public replies, and a few more private
replies, but in the end it can be summarized to:

 - all the BSD unixes have IPv6 NAT in various variants in one of their
   various firewalls (pf, ipfilter)
    - pfsense 2.0 can use this to provide "NAT based dual-ISP multihoming"

 - Juniper Netscreen and SRX do IPv6 NAT, both N:N and N:1

 - various prototypes for Linux exist, but nothing "officially accepted
   into the main kernel" yet (as far as the comments went that I received)

 - at least one German CPE vendor told me they will do something like
   NPT66 "real soon now" because that's something they see a need for,
   to enable dual-ISP IPv6 multihoming without BGP.

(Please don't start a flame war now, I'm not endorsing - or condemning - 
anything, just summarizing responses)
