Exactly.  I didn't know what this was called (obviously!).  Thanks!

Awesome.  I read through the description and how-it-works sections and 
it appears to be exactly for what I asked.  That is a fantastically 
clever hack, from someone who clearly knows the IP4 protocols better than I.

And in response to IPv6: I'm with you that I should do it, I understand 
all the merits, and believe that I *should* do it (for a variety of 
reasons), and have even argued for it[1], but I haven't actually made 
the mental jump yet.  KevinO/AaronJ: I know, I know.  I'll get there. 
Bear with me.  :-)

Cheers,

Kevin
