I'm afraid that I'm not familiar with 'MIF.' With apologies, can you tell
me what that stands for?

In general, the current version does not directly address multi-CER
topologies. We noted that (perhaps not especially clearly) in section 2:

"This document assumes that the vast majority of home networks will
   connect to a single ISP and will be generally constructed in a tree
   architecture."

Because we suggest electing the home router attached to the ISP as the
CER, a single ISP would mean a single CER. However, in a multi-CER
situation as long as the two (or more) CERs know each others
prefixes/routes, this mechanism will work. You would simply end up with
two (or more) independent trees connected at the top, through the CERs.
