That was the plan with the type 99 SPF record.  See RFC 6686 to see
how well that worked.

There's huge pressure for people to move from IPv4 to IPv6 since the
price of IPv4 addresses has in the past few years increased from
roughly zero to about $10 per address while IPv6 is still nearly free
and always will be.  But it'll still be decades before IPv4 goes awy.

R's,
