Here's an interesting question: is it considered multi-homing to have connections between an internal backbone and a commercial provider's backbone in more than one location -- if it's the same commercial provider? I have in mind, particularly, people like HP. My instincts tell me that it probably is, but I wonder what the routing management differences might be.
