... shim6 doesn't fit into the definition does it?  Its seems to be a
question of multihomed networks Vs. multihomed hosts (although the
effect may be the same at the end of the day).


Yes... The network is still multihomed, but, instead of using routing to
handle the source/dest addr. selection, it is managed at each end host
independent of the routers.  The routers function sort of like the
network is single homed.  It's very convoluted.
