I'd almost be tempted to set up a few machines doing v6 only on the LAN,
with some trivial to exploit telnet/SNMP access then invite them to scan
the LAN and see if said machines are picked up.
My experience of these things a year or two ago was that most of these
companies thought everyone had an internal flat IPv4 network in RFC1918
space and that was that. YMMV of course.
