All IPs actually in use, or all possible IPs in a network? If the
latter, then it's not gunna fly for IPv6. Not at all. Not unless you
synthesise the responses - in which case there is no point to requiring
them anyway.

$GENERATE, as someone else pointed out, solves that problem for you?
(Does it scale for IPv6? I can't recall - but surely this could be
scripted too.)

I though the point of doing so was to establish with some degree of
accuracy that there were 'real people' behind the administration of said
IP, and that there was a somewhat increased level of accountability as a
result - which suggests there is infact a point.
