  The mobile IPv6 folks did specify IPsec protection to binding updates,
true. However, they didn't solve the problem of the trust model, and
were not willing to use available technology. (see
draft-richardson-ipsec-opportunistic).

  If you have IPsec with your home agent (which you also need), then you
don't really need mobile IPv6, except to talk to your correspondants. If
they were willing to trust your IPsec secured binding updates, then you
could also just build an IPsec tunnel with them and be done with it.

  True, getting a static v4 can be hard --- IPsec can easily help there,
but that is introducing yet another tunnel.  My suggestion is always to
seek another ISP that will give you a static IP.
