So DHCP could be sent in an R1 in a REQ_INFO parameter.
I2 would have the DHCP request and R2 the DHCP information?

You could pass DHCPv4/v6 as well as RA config information this way. Does make the packets a tad bigger!

location-based security is old fashioned :(

At the application layer, tunnel mode may have some implications on the IPv4-IPv6 interoperability aspects of HIP.

I have thought a lot about this, and BOY does it ever mess this up. There would need to be IPv4/v6 signalling within the ESP tunnel to make this work. The VPN interface (separate from the HIP interface) would 'know' if the incoming packet was v4 or v6, and would tag the ESP header appropriately?

Or no, wait, not so simple. Actually the addresses ARE in the inner headers, I am getting confused with a HIP proxy that does not maintain an identity for each non-HIP host :) But can ESP tunnel mix and match v4 and v6 inner packets...

Oh my head hurts!
