Afaik none of the IPv6-IPv4 translation mechanisms (be it NAT-PT or TRT
or...) does support communication initiated by outside (IPv4) sources
yet. IPv6/IPv4 addresses are just not mappable bidirectionally.
I know that with DSTM there where at least plans to tackle the problem
of incorporating this feature somehow. Don't know what became of it and
also don't really know, how this should/could be done.
