Cameron contacted me off list and pointed out the steps.  Works a treat, 
NAT64 is handling the IPv4 traffic without any obvious problems, along 
with IPv6.  Smooth and simple.  Shame it has to be switched on through 
some manual steps, but I guess that's understandable for now given it's 
technically in Beta stage.
