Considering all our clients were on Windows LANs using IPv4 that
wouldn't have worked anyway.
Yes, that's the real issue. As there isn't enough IPv4, you need to NAT
them to be able to forward them. As you can have any distinct IPv6 you
want, you don't need artificial way to have more adresses than
available. So the old way doesn't work anymore, but it's useless. Now,
needing to have the old way and the new way at the same time is
difficult. I can understand it. But it doesn't mean the new way is bad.
The new way isn't bad. Re-configuring everything to use the new way is so
painful it will not happen until there is no other choice.
