I haven't heard about LISP-in-the-host, but if we are
talking about a *pure* host (i.e., and not a router that
acts like a host) we already have a widely-deployed
mechanism for that [RFC5214][draft-templin-isatapv4].
If we are talking about a router that acts like a host,
we have VET for that [draft-templin-autoconf-dhcp].

[RFC5214], section 7.2 covers RLOC failure detection through
negative acknowledgments, and [RFC5214], Section 8.4 covers
RLOC liveness testing through positive acknowledgements:

"7.2.  Handling ICMPv4 Errors

   ISATAP interfaces SHOULD process Address Resolution Protocol (ARP)
   failures and persistent ICMPv4 errors as link-specific information
   indicating that a path to a neighbor may have failed (Section 7.3.3
   of [RFC4861]).

...

8.4.  Neighbor Unreachability Detection

   ISATAP hosts SHOULD perform Neighbor Unreachability Detection
   (Section 7.3 of [RFC4861]).  ISATAP routers MAY perform Neighbor
   Unreachability Detection, but this might not scale in all
   environments.

   After address resolution, ISATAP hosts SHOULD perform an initial
   reachability confirmation by sending Neighbor Solicitation messages
   and receiving a Neighbor Advertisement message.  ISATAP routers MAY
   perform this initial reachability confirmation, but this might not
   scale in all environments."

If there are multiple RLOCs, why not?
