I'm not sure we should even try supporting that mode for IPv6, it's bad enough for IPv4.

I'm inclined to have the backend code skip any IPv6 in that mode, and drop a note in the GUI on the reflection options stating that isn't supported for IPv6. Maybe toss an input validation error if someone picks that mode specifically on a port forward with IPv6 addresses.

It works only if you choose NAT + Proxy on the port forward configuration page. It should check the Network Address Translation setup under the System/Advanced/Firewall & NAT page too.
