For the sake of the discussion, I would remind everybody that an IPv4
web reverse proxy facilitating access to an IPv6 web server is a
permitted use of 4.10 address space. So is an ordinary NAT server.
Under the suggested policy, a customer who proposed to run an ordinary
NAT server and a reverse proxy for their single web server would
qualify for a /29 reassignment from an ISP's 4.10 space.
