There is not only the multihoming issue but also the PI address issue.
Even if any ISP would run his network very competently and there
were no outages we would face the ISP switching issue.  Again we
would end up with either PI addresses announced by the ISP or BGP
by the customer.  With either the DFZ continues to grow.  There is
just no way around it.
