As someone mentioned, AppleTalk is not really designed for multihoming
without routing.  In particular, if your network looks something like

	-------------------------	net 1
	  |		      |
	 [A]		     [B]
	  |		      |
	-------------------------	net 2

(that is, both node [A] and node [B] are connected to networks 1 and
2), and [A] routes and [B] doesn't, then if [A] goes down, there is no
router and [B]'s idea of what the network numbers are, might need to
change.  Under phase 2, while the (now possibly bogus) network numbers
can remain the same, the network range for both wires would be the
same.
