You can set up a lookup table.  But for the most part, the address
translation is really only practical for incoming connections, to make
an existing v4 server exist in a v6 world.  The lookup table is useful
if you have a system that makes connections to a small number of addresses,
though.

However, for that application it's marvelous.
