That’s absurd…

Yes, you have to support both for now. However, you really only need IPv4 addresses on each front-end box and you only need that until the proportion of eyeball users that lack IPv6 capabilities is small enough to be considered no longer worth the cost of support.

I doubt seriously that the quantity of eyeball users you would consider cost effective to support is one. Case in point: Do your servers still support non-SNI compliant browsers? Do you limit your pages to compatibility with IE version 10?
