In brief and in theory...if I get a packet from legacy space, I will 
want to do a lookup based on the address it came from.  To see if the 
claimed domain name matches the address' PTR record or some other 
protocol related info tied to address space and not domain name.

(As I said - in theory and way past my local bed time.)
