Why go through all that trouble when you could make the server app
dual-stack capable in the first place?
That could be done with or without assigning a unique v4 address to it,
simply running v4 over v6...
Not you¹d be back to a v4 app talking to a v4 app on hosts only having v6
addresses configured natively.
