This is not a patent.  It is a patent application.  Most applications
do not turn into patents, or at least not with all of the claims
included.

If you look at the claims, which are what matter, this is for a rather
specific hack in a broadband router which assigns a v4 address on the
fly when a DNS lookup from behind the router returns a result that
suggests that v4 traffic will happen, presumably by returning an A
record.

I can't imagine how anyone would misread this as a patent on IPv6.
