You don't need to do this send the IPv4 vip traffic to another VIP, (All IPv4 DNS entries would go to a 3rd VIP that would NAT the IPv4 request into an IPv6 request) You can just assign the IPV6 server pools to the IPV4 VIPs and F5 will translate for you from IPV4 ingress to the IPV6 server IPs. As long as the F5 can route IPv6 to the pool it will work.

We only have a limited number of external IPv4 addresses, so we can't have an IPv4 address / VIP for every DNS entry.
