Enable v6 access by web proxy approach

The website below help v4 website owners to make their sites accessible by IPv6.

http://ipv6proxy.prolocation.net/

This is a web proxy approach. A website only has to enable AAAA record pointing to the v6 leg of the proxy server which is 2a00:d00:ff:131:94:228:131:131. When the proxy receives the http headers, it knows the domains name and can get the web content from v4 network and pass to the v6 visiting clients.

However, there are some limitations. No doubt end-to-end connectivity is broken so I can readily imagine that HTTPS and VPN can not be supported.
