You are absolutely right -- it's not a DNS problem, it *is* a host 
behavior problem. The issue is that it takes *years* to fix a host 
behavior problem, and we need to engineer and deploy a fix much sooner 
then that (hopefully about a year before the v4 exhaustion date). Given 
that, is there something other then DNS that can address it better/faster?
