Hey,

I think the next step would be to leave IPv6 + IPv4 on main RIPE-MTG 
wifi network, but instead of DNS to start provisioning DNS64 by default.

That's what I'm doing majority of the time and it works flawlessly.

What would this mean - DNS64 would return A and AAAA record for *every* 
query (unless the queried name is IPv6-only) and lot's of today IPv4 
traffic would shift to IPv6+NAT64 and give us the opportunity to observe 
how all this works on a larger scale...

Whichever legacy app that does not support IPv6 might be used by 
attendees - it would still work using IPv4 transport.

There were networks and events where we "secretly" started to insert 
DNS64 instead a normal DNS- we called that an experiment - and people 
did not even notice ;)
