Nope, sorry.  Any http proxy with dual stack support will work by
default. squid3 or trafficserver are some excellent Debian package
alternatives.

I don't buy the "can not".  Does not find it worth the cost, yes.  But
that is only because they are used to IPv4 addresses being "free".  They
are not anymore.

That sounds like something which would work just fine using rfc1918
addresses forever.  No need to route them to the internet.
