Re: scope of solution..

Why is it a good idea to involve the hosts in a site as part of the
multi-homing solution?

If this WG decides to involve the hosts as part of the multi-homing for
IPv6, to what extent will they be involved.

My own inclination is to support multi-homing at the router level and do
not require anything other than a basic default route for most hosts.
