John,
I would accept your interpretation if you can go to a major search engine,
like Yahoo or Altavista, and find me in a brief period of time ANY version
of Mike O'Dell's 8+8 proposal. Don't you think it shameful that there is
no permanent record about a serious effort to deal with a serious problem
(multihoming)? And this is a recent (read: current) problem!
