But, Really the only time you have to worry is if you go out of the FW. There can be converters present the will convert a 6 to a 4 and a 4 to 6 if necessary. I think down the road, years down the road that all will be gone to IPv6 because of the unlimited number supply, but also because it will be a permanent number for every piece of equipment.
No more DHCP, etc. All items will come out with it's own IPv6 for life.
