Ted - I think it's just as likely for the RG to get different information from different interfaces (or different "administrative domains") as it is for a host to get get different information directly. Traffic from the host, which is then forwarded by the RG to one of more than one possible interfaces or routers, might be affected by the configuration information from the "administrative domain" through which the traffic is forwarded.

Now, I admit I'm describing a hypothetical and abstract scenario. I don't have a specific example of a situation in which a host might make decisions - either in the stack or in an application or ??? - about outbound traffic based on knowledge of how that traffic would be forwarded by the RG.

How realistic is it anyway that an RG would get different *relevant* options on its different interfaces? This would seem to me to be an administrative error. Of course the broadcast address and subnet mask options might be different, but it doesn't make sense to send the RG, e.g., different name servers for each interface.
