limit_req_zone for IPv6 subnets

[Thomas Ward]

I dont think limit_req works on CIDR rather individual IPs.  At least per the description of the module for limiting requests, it works on a single IP level not on a CIDR range level and I don't immediately see a way to make that happen - whether IPv4 or IPv6.Sent from my T-Mobile 4G LTE Device
