On the subject of ipv6, is there currently any way to multi-home with IPv6 yet?

There has always been a way to multihome in IPv6. Announce
a prefix to two or more providers. As with IPv4, YMMV.
There is a proposal to allow direct IPv6 end site assignments
that will be considered at the upcoming ARIN meeting:
http://www.arin.net/policy/proposals/2005_1.html
Note that it has been revised since the previous
ARIN meeting. The size for qualifying is still being
debated and I hope that anyone interested in this
topic will make their views known on the ARIN ppml
list or at the meeting.

The current version calls for IPv6 address blocks for
any end user that uses (or has serious plans to use) IPv6 on
at least 100,000 "unique devices" (routers, computers, etc.) and also multi-homes.
This is a compromise between doing nothing, and the original
2002-3 like proposal.
I would also urge interested parties to comment on PPML.

Actual implementations are a different story...
