If we NAT between the squids and the apaches, will that adversely affect the ability of MW to *know* the outside site's IP address when that's v6?
You're not just changing addresses, you're changing address *families*; is there a standard wrapper for the entire IPv4 address space into v6? (I should know that, but I don't.)
There's no reason to NAT between the squid proxies and apaches -- they share a private network, with a private IPv4 address space which is nowhere near being exhausted.
I almost said this, but we do have Squids in esams, which has only a /24; and from what I've heard, probably won't be getting any more space, ever. So depending on how many Squids are added in the future, communication between esams and sdtpa could be fun.
(The obvious fix there is to use IPv6 for that...)
