Hi Jayshree,
 
I think what we need to have is a problem statement written up for what you are requesting.
Once you have that lets see if this is a generic problem across the Internet w.r.t Mobile IPv4
or if it is isolated to 3GPP2 implementation of Mobile IPv4 only. If the problem is generic
enough, then I agree that it would be a good reason to work on a solution that would allow
MN configuration using Mobile IP messages. If the problem is isolated, then I think we should
consider using Vendor Specific Extensions for solving this problem. 
 
Does that make sense?

Basavaraj, 

If reality is always conformant to the expectation, I agree that we won't have any issues. 

I have personally requested alternatives of the solution(s) of these problems mentioned earlier on this thread but didn't have any luck. Anyway, if you are referring to DHCP as well understood mechanism, you might have seen issues posted earlier by Kent and others on using DHCP.   

Regards, 
Jayshree
