I agree that if there's any way to apply the strong host multi-homed model in such a way that it does not result in routing loops when the host is actually _also_ a router, that'd be a good thing. > But I also know when I'm failing to make progress, so if you're > comfortable with this, then drive on. It'll just be unusable for me. I don't see why we actually need the strong host multi-homed model + router functionality at the same time in any of our products, so I think Sowmini is on solid ground.
