Well, you can use things like totd [1] to proxy DNS requests and
translate IPv6 replies to IPv4 ones.

If you really can't enable ipv6 on your Win2k machines you can also try
to install pTRTd [2] on the router. It is an implementation of RFC3142
"An IPv6-to-IPv4 Transport Relay Translator".

Sadly, both projects look like they are not developed anymore. And it
will be quite a bunch of difficulties to set this up when you can find
an IPv6 stack for Win2k on Microsoft official site [3] ;)
