At great risk of being flamed at, what do people think of the
idea of multihomed hosts advertising host routes split-horizon?

That way, if the network that host H's interface H1 goes down,
H1 will be advertised (and reachable) via interface H2..Hn.

Supposedly the number of multihomed hosts (and the number of
interfaces they have) is not a significant number (is it MKL?),
so this should not add much overhead...
