  | No.  In fact, I would expect that if any prefix is multilink, then all
  | of them should be.

Why?   I'm no expert on multi-link, in fact, I'm not sure I understand
the need for it at all really, but nor do I know enough to object.

  | There is a bit that says whether to send packets to routers or just do
  | ND for them, which is probably what you're thinking of.

Yes, that's probably it.

  | However, a multilink
  | subnet can work either way (see section 4.1 of the multilink draft),

OK.

  | My preference is that we just ban DAD optimization in all cases.

That's certainly an option.   The "new prefix causes several thousand
nodes to all attempt DAD at the same time" argument is the one which
makes me hesitant to simply support this without further investigation.
