[Dnsmasq-discuss] DNS64 support.

[Bill C Riemers]

Really, you only need DNS64/NAT64 if you want to completely eliminate IPv4 in your network.   With a dual stack, e.g. using both, it is completely unnecessary.   I would say if you do need them, they are completely different functions than what DNSMASQ provide.   As such, they should be just completely different code.
