Not at all. Consider VLANs, VPN routing and now virtualisation - these
all create situations where it makes a lot of sense for a host with a
single NIC to perform routing.

Granted, it might not be the best way to do things for a given situation
but it's certainly a valid configuration (and can be very useful for
testing).
