this kinda gets back to issue of what we mean when we talk about
multihoming, which is why I poked Ted multiple times to try to get him to
define what he meant when he used the term.  At the moment it seems like
we're all talking about different things, and this is leading to some of
the confusion.

So I ask again: can we please define what we mean by multihoming in the
context of this discussion?  Until we have clarified what we're talking
about, the discussion is not going to lead anywhere.
