Sorry, I wasn't very clear.
If my proxy has an IPv6-outbound-proxy that I *ONLY* use for IPv6 gatewaying, I need to be able to make the routing decision locally. If my local IPv4-only server can't resolve IPv6 addresses, I have no way to figure out what's going on and make a decision that "this target is on IPv6 so I need to forward that to my IPv6-connected peer".
