Depends on the requirements. It wouldn't fulfil mine. But nevermind,
there are surely some who would call the shim6 hack sufficient...

Still it's multiple hosts (potentially all of a site) multihomed, not
a site multihomed. A site multihoming solution would let me multihome
a site without any host inside having a remote clue of being attached
to multiple ISPs. All else would be a clear "layering violation", so
to speak (not talking about OSI layers of course).


Best regards,
