It would be nice to learn about the nasty side effects of such a setup
though---preferably by other people's experience:-)

Generally speaking, all-out dual stack setups are a major pain in the
backside, from immediate operational issues to long-term legacy build-up
thanks to the inherent limitations of IPv4.  Depending on the particular
situation it may be smarter to separate IPv4 from IPv6 completely---the
results with the IPv6-only WiFi during the RIPE meeting last week seem
to be rather promising.

But as usual, there's no one-size-fits-all solution for this question.
If it was, nobody would pay us to find the one most suitable for
whatever situation.


Cheers,
