If one end is behind a NAT64 and there is no mechanism for discovering

learned via a mechanism other than DNS responses synthesized by the
DNS64 part of the NAT64 "solution") on the IPv4 Internet through said
NAT64.
While a rather inelegant solution, it just popped into my head that
one could do an AAAA query for a known-value A record (i.e., under
skype.com), and based on a response (if any), replace the known IP
value with the IP which with one wants to connect.
A little weird, but it's a thought.

That's one of the proposed solutions on the list of discovery
technologies, IIRC.
