As you two seemingly have agreed, IPv6, as is, is not so useful
for scalable multihoming.

However, transition to IPv6 is important to solve multihoming
issues, because IPv6 routing space is not yet polluted by
unaggregated addresses.

Important pieces are documented in

	The Architecture of End to End Multihoming

just become available.
