I dont see whats so ugly about that solution.

A lot of companies dont allow their internal workstations direct connection
to the internet, forcing inside hosts to go through a proxy to reach
anything outside, rather than NAT'ing them out.

The fact that the proxy in question can reach both v4 and v6 hosts I think
is a bonus and any DNS implementation worth its weight should be compliant
enough to support Quad-A records and the like.
