Please explain your terminology. "Multihomed" in a provider context means you
have multiple external connections with _static_ IPs (maybe same AS, maybe
different). Do you use "multihomed" as synonym for "dynamic IP" here?
If so let me ask if you think that the vast majority of the users of a
filesystem use _server nodes_ with dynamic IPs?
