I have one weblogic application currently working on IPv4 and jdbc connection to database is on IPv4.

Since my machine has an additional Ethernet port that support IPv6, I am thinking to add an additional entry in DNS AAAA and try to clear my doubt.

If an http hit comes via IPv6 internally, weblogic will bind Database on IPv4 and take the required results and give these results back to client browser on IPv6.

  • Will the above method work?

  • What are the other factors I should consider?

  • Is a dual stack mandatory other than IPv6 only?

Yes dual stack is mandatory in that case, because Oracle Database does not support ipv6.

see link: http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E12839_01/core.1111/e10105/host.htm#ASADM648

You will need to configure network channels in order to separate the ipv4 from ipv6 http://docs.oracle.com/cd/E17904_01/web.1111/e13701/network.htm#CNFGD179

Its a complected process that has a difficulty factor depending on whatever you have deployed in weblogic. Personally i am not sure if the received benefits will be worth the time and possible troubleshooting you may come across.
