@eshep and thus why ipv4 is hell 😅

But there's salvation.
It's very likely that you don't want those very old devices to go to the internet.
And so you can have static routes for those, avoiding ipv4 nat dhcp etc.

Yes this means your router will do the translation and be a proxy to access those devices. But I doubt they are high bandwidth or high traffic devices if they are ipv4 only.
In clear you can treat them as if they are in a totally separate network. The same way you access ipv4 only services on the internet.
DNS64, NAT64, 464XLAT are great tools to solve that issue.

But yeah... ipv4 is a pain.
