Erlang distribution with redundant network

The idea of using SCTP for Distributed Erlang has been discussed off
and on, but I'm not aware of anyone who has actually done it in anger.

If you would do it that way, i.e. using a multi-homing transport
protocol, you would be able to use all the standard components, like
mnesia and global.
