I think your sketch is fine. There is one issue: the DNS64 has to perform address synthesis in the sense RFC 6877 uses the term. Yes, it will connect to the IPv4 network to access DNS and retrieve A records, and the IPv6 network to respond to DNS requests. It could also access the IPv6 network to get the relevant IPv6 prefix. In a network with multiple such prefixes, that could also be "interesting". I note that NAT64 implementations frequently have associated DNS64 implementations - not required, but simplifies knowing the relevant prefix. I connected DNS64 to the PLAT on the assumption that the PLAT talks to both, but certainly the drawing could show those directly.

> Connecting the DNS64 server to the PLAT device suggests me as if DNS64 were a kind of subfunction of PLAT. Of course it is not the case. They can be implemented by two independent devices: stateful NAT64 is usually implemented by a router and DNS64 is usually implemented by a DNS server.
