Yeah, we probably should be clear here that IPSEC can only be used when the DHCP server addresses are preconfigured in the Relay. IPSEC can not be used if the relay is using multicast addresses (at least not until the IPSEC issues with multicast are addressed).

I suspect that this will not get through the IESG as is. IPsec doesn't
work well with multicast. This is too underspecified.
