Google again.  The ACE 30 has a different daughter board that does
the packet mangling, and that one has IPv6 support (while the 10/20
have not enough code space for IPv6).

Now I'm not actually sure the ACE 30 is already *shipping* with IPv6,
but I've been told that it is hardware capable of doing it, unlike
the 10/20.

As for the appliances, I have no idea what hardware is in there.

There's a couple of open source NAT64 implementations running on Linux
that might do what you want.  "faithd" on FreeBSD is also able to do 
that (connection coming in on IPv6, leaving on IPv4).

There should be a large driver to beat your Cisco representative with
this kit.  And whoever authorized purchase of a "nearly-new" kit that
has no IPv6 support in it.
