Hi, 
In my understanding, Bootstapping described in RFC5296 means either of the following two options.
a) in ER Explicit bootstapping  local domain name can be learnt by the peer directly through ERP exchange 
b) or in ER implicit bootstapping DSRK can be distributed to the local ER server and the local domain name can
be obtained by subsequent ERP exchange. The local domain name can be leant from ER authenticator or Local
ER server.

Therefore bootstapping does not means that the peer MUST go back to the home domain to obtain the local domain name.
the peer may learn the local domain name from local domain through local ERP exchange or other lower layer annoucement 
mechanism.

Comments!
