in the PD based solution for a self configuring mechanism, the Border Router 
would be the PD delegating router for the home network. that's the router 
receiving the delegated prefix from the ISP. downstream routers will use this 
router as a DHCP server for their PD requests.

what happens if you have multiple border routers? a downstream requesting 
router can only use one DHCP server, and there isn't as far as I know any 
protocol mechanism for multiple DHCP servers to synchronize and exchange 
information between themselves.

in the autonomous case where each border router injects its own understanding 
of what the site prefix is, into the home, this is not a problem. you'll get 
one prefix for each ISP.

cheers,
Ole
