Thanks for your quick response.

There may be some scenario in which a single-interface host is connected
to multiple ISPs on the same link, which seems to be not covered in
the usual definition for "multihomed host".

I don't know what to call the model, but is such a model already 
common?  Or is there any ongoing work on this model?
