=> All the ones I know of do that (virtual interface). MIPv6 implementations assign the > home address to a virtual interface.

It all depends on where the SL address came from. Is it in the visited site or the home site? src address selection should by default provide the HoA to the app, but if the SL is in the visited site, it won't work. So do we need some coupling between src address selection and the resolver? If the CoA is given to the app, then MIPv6 won't work unless you use something link HMIPv6 which provides a local HA. But this will only provide session continuity while the MN is moving within the MAP domain. Have I missed something?
