Rationale/Explanation of issue: 

The Mobile IP extension allows the foreign network to specify whether it
is willing to provide a home agent. However, if the AAAH wants to setup a
DSA with the Home Agent, how can it do that since it doesn't know the URI
of the HA.

Fix

When the AAAF states it is willing to allocate an HA in its domain, it
includes the URI in a new AVP, called Candidate-Home-Agent-Host.
