Mutisource is possible through opennap but very difficult do to the nature of the networks. On a set of linked servers it should be rather easy to do because the servers communicate. Opennap servers that are not linked don't communicate with each other making it very difficult to multisource. Either the client or server would need to send a command to the other user/client in order to initiate multisource.
Seeing how WinMX PNP and opennap do not communicate as with other clients not able to communicate with the PNP make multisource very difficult. Not impossible just very difficult and it would take a large scale joint effort by alot of programmers to make this happen
