Overlay broad patent on IPv6?

Hi,

> It is a stupid idea if you ask me,

..and thus, based on most of the current technology patents out there, perfectly patentable.

dont worry, the rest of the internet will probably need something like this in the future...
and whats happened here is some coffee-room tech chat or water cooler propeller-head conversation
got captured and written-up by some over-zealous manager/techie combo to ensure that the
world cant do something obvious later when needed  (its probably not obvious to most
people righ tnow as we havent even bothered looking at it...but if we did then it would
probably be an obvious method and first one out of the wash).

when it means is that most of those ISPs that do a captive portal answer for failed
DNS responses are going to be violating this patent if the query was for IPv6 and
didnt get an answer..... ;-)
