DAD is a link-local mechanism (uses link-local multicast

What about DAD for links that are unicast-only? Alternatives
I can imagine are:
1. specify some sort of unicast mechanism for DAD
2. perform some sort of multicast emulation (e.g., MARS)
3. avoid DAD alltogether when one can assume that addresses
are uniquely assigned within the site
Thoughts?
