Finite interpolation with minimum uniform norm in C^n

Given a finite sequence $a:={a_1, ..., a_N}$ in a domain $Ω\subset C^n$, and complex scalars $v:={v_1, ..., v_N}$, consider the classical extremal problem of finding the smallest uniform norm of a holomorphic function verifying $f(a_j)=v_j$ for all $j$. We show that the modulus of the solutions to this problem must approach its least upper bound along a subset of the boundary of the domain large enough to contain the support of a measure whose hull contains a subset of the original $a$ large enough to force the same minimum norm. Furthermore, all the solutions must agree on a variety which also contains this hull. An example is given to show that the inclusions can be strict.
