In my testing, it appears the “multihomed” hosts.cfg tag is broken. i.e
does not allow a client to report in if it comes from an alternate IP on
that host.

Looking at 4.3.18 code.
It is working in my installation of 4.3.17 where I have entries of the sort:
0.0.0.0   foo.bar.com   # multihomed
0.0.0.0   baz.bar.com   # ssh multihomed

What are the symptoms which lead you to believe the tag is not working? 
In my case, prior to appending this tag to the hosts, I was getting 
"Multi-source statuses" under the xymond test reported on my server.
