Is there a clear cut published standard indicating what "right" is?
The closest I've seen are RFCs 1122 and 1123, but they only provide
multihoming guidelines at the protocol layer.  They don't say a
thing about transport.  (I'm asking only to learn, not argue.)

In this specific case, that's not a concern, though I still didn't
think about that.  I'll keep it in mind for public consumption
projects later on.

Thanks for the input.
