You want to run a routing protocol on hosts? Are you going to add knobs
to DHCP to configure it? Or walk to every host when you want to
reconfigure the routing protocol?

If I want to centrally configure hosts' networking settings, what I need
is DHCP. I have yet to see a routing protocol that is remotely
configured, nor would I want to see that in a routing protocol.
