[support] home agent on dummy interface

Greetings, all. I have a newbie question on setting up a virtual home  
agent.

According to the NEMO Howto, the Home Agent can be placed on a dummy  
interface (or simply an alias on the lo interface I'd guess). However,  
when I set this up, the HA cannot send packets because the dummy intf.  
doesn't allow outgoing packets not addressed to itself. In fact, the  
error is EPERM for the sendmsg() call for sending the BA. Is there  
something I'm missing in the routing somewhere or is this just not  
possible anymore?

Thanks in advance,
