What about trying out what you have learned from the
other mail? (And a little combining;)

Add an image, draw a polgon which provides your desired
connection points, save as .shape.

Voila: a new shape file. If you remove the polygon and some
of the connection points you didn't intend you'll get
something like :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<shape xmlns="http://www.daa.com.au/~james/dia-shape-ns"; 
xmlns:svg="http://www.w3.org/2000/svg";>
  <name>Misc - Client</name>
  <icon>client.png</icon>
  <connections>
    <point x="2.85" y="4.15"/>
    <point x="3.7" y="1.1"/>
    <point x="8.55" y="1.2"/>
    <point x="8.6" y="6.05"/>
    <point x="2.75" y="9.55"/>
    <point x="3.275" y="2.625"/>
    <point x="6.125" y="1.15"/>
    <point x="8.575" y="3.625"/>
    <point x="5.675" y="7.8"/>
  </connections>
  <aspectratio type="fixed"/>
  <svg:svg>
    <svg:image x="0" y="0" width="10" height="10" xlink:href="client.png"/>
  </svg:svg>
</shape>

Which appears to be pretty close to what you requested ...
