Overlay broad patent on IPv6?

The point is you'd already have a 192 address or something, and it
would only grab the external address for a short duration for use as
an external PAT address, thus oversubscribing the ip4 pool to users
who need it (based on dns). Its still pretty broken, but less broken
than you describe.
