Hi..

I'm not sure the same question was posted already. If so, sorry for my duplicated question.

In BIS, when non-IPv6 application want to send a packet to IPv6 host, the Extension Name Resolver
translate IPv4 DNS query message(Type 'A') to IPV6 DNS query message(type "A6" or "AAAA").
Does the Extension Name resolver need to know the target node's hostname is IPv6' node?
If so, how does the Extension Name Resolver know the translation(type "A" to "A6" or "AAAA" is required?

And the draft-ietf-ngtrans-introduction-to-ipv6-transition-07.txt said that

   IPv6 requirements:          none 
   IPv6 address requirements:  none 

But RFC2767 said that

2.3 Address Mapper

...

   NOTE: There is only one exception. When initializing the table, it
   registers a pair of its own IPv4 address and IPv6 address into the
   table statically.

I think this means that IPv4 host which implement must has native IPv6 address.
So the "IPv6 address requirement" in draft must be changed to "1 per host".
