Even if you get a unique IPV6 address, Verizon would have to tell the
rest of the internet the routing to your address. And unless you get it
from Verizon, chances are they aren't going to do it.
Yes, it could coexist on one machine - but ANY IP routing is dependent
on the next machine in the chain passing the routing information on.
Without this, no one (not even someone else on the Verizon network) will
be able to access your IP.
Your best bet is going to be to get an IPV6 address from Verizon. But
please remember - most internet users (and even many ISPs) are still
using IPV4 only, and will not be able to access your site.
