Rick, Can't we use the same transport address on all links going to another LDP router? I believe that using the same transport address (let's say another (reachable) loopback) on both links going to the remote peer should work (assuming we use per-platform label space). I know that only complicates things and that's definitely not a best practice, but that should work (neighbor LDP ID x reachable via src IP y (physical), transport IP = z (loopback other than LDP RID). Correct me if I'm wrong, please.
