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?
