No.  The expectation is that you don't have multiple interfaces.  This
ought to be easy to remedy, and may even be fixed in more recent
versions of routed (somewhere buried in this INBOX I have a message
from Vern advising me of a new release).  However, it would require
`routed' to have multiple interface-specific sockets open while
running the discovery protocol.
