On 2011 you told me:
A valid IPv6 address is something like this: ::ffff:172.16.1.10. You just add the ::ffff: to the IPv4 address. However, your operating system recognizes it for what it is and contacts it as IPv4. You only have to specify the port when using the link local address. If you had a subnet, even one not connected to the internet, your computer could figure out which interface to use. Just like in IPv4, there are address blocks for that purpose.
So ::ffff: is out (it does not use IPv6 to connect).
I guess there must be some other block reserved for local use without problems :-?
