If the B4 is in the host, the B4 implementation should be able to proxy the v4

passing the v4 DNS server address to hosts.


Med: If you really want to provision an IPv4 address of the DNS server, you can 
inspire from what we proposed for PCP: 
http://tools.ietf.org/html/draft-bpw-softwire-pcp-dhcp-01#section-3.1 and 
convey an IP4-mapped IPv6 address (representing the IPv4 address of your DNS 
server) in the DHCPv6 option. BTW, it is recommended to send DNS queries over 
IPv6 to avoid crossing the AFTR for various reasons (avoid nating DNS messages, 
better ports usage in the AFTR since DNS traffic represents an important amount 
of messages issued by various applications, incremental migration of network 
services to IPv6: DNS and NTP for instance).
