Wonder if it's possible to have a internal ipv4 local address range that is natted to ipv6 public address on your router...

Definitely this. Some people say "IPv6 is complicated" just because the address is longer and uses hexadecimal. They actually know nothing about IPv6, not SLAAC or DHCPv6, not address types, or anything... They just know that it's long and apparently that's intimidating enough.

It's why you actually see people advocating for their "IPv5" solution, aka IPv4-with-2-more-octets. I swear... every month there's someone saying that.

Sigh.

It is interesting how we've got this replacement that while slow is clearly taking off and yet people are still out there trying to re-engineer IPv4 as a replacement. Does that qualify as Stockholm syndrome?
