RA is a shotgun. All hosts on a segment get the same gateway. I have no idea what a host on multiple segments with different gateways would do. Hosting environments can get complex thanks to customer requirements and baggage from previous migrations. Load balancer and VPN configurations are common culprits but there are also cases where servers need different gateways for routing policy reasons. All of this is easily accommodated with static gateways and the redundancy provided by vrrpv4. Please don't take that away from us. Migration to v6 will be difficult enough without subtracting functionality from our existing tools. Other than that I look forward to seeing what wonderful things we can do with RA to simplify things in cases where shotgun == ok. - Kevin
