- Is the VPN setup part of AERO?
- How does the mobile router know whether or not to do this?
- Why would the external AERO servers admit traffic from the AERO client?
     Or, is AERO completely out of the picture for external networks?
- Is the route optimization simply a matter of VPN to the correspondent 
node?
     Or, did you mean to suggest use of the MIPv6 mechanisms?
