Of course, multi-homed requires different handling, because you may hear their other home announce them (although again, you probably shouldn't listen to *THAT* announcement either if *your* link to them is up). And I posit that if you don't know if your customer is single or multi-homed, you have *bigger* issues to deal with. Attachment:
