What about a hardware device (new router) that at the WAN (Internet 
side) runs IPV6 and on our internal network (LAN) runs IPV4 ?

The problem is not in the LAN where most of us use the same 192.168.x.x 
IP range, rather what our one Internet facing static or changing IP 
address is.

I expect this would be the way envisioned for home networks. Large 
corporations where some Internet presence is required could use a 
combination of IPv6 for the parts of their network that need to be seen 
from Internet v2 and IPV4 for the internal network. This also adds a 
level of extra security.
