Just get prefix A.B.C.0/24 and two ISP's, pay them, configure BGP with

Who said the (only) goal of IPv6 was multihoming?

This can be seen as a good thing: it forces everyone to stop the

A drawback is that we don't have anything really concrete to offer for
site multihoming problem in the place of old practises; there are a few
proposals though.
