8 AFAIK, you can have multiple names for one IP and multiple IPs for one
9 name (there are more ways to do that). So, I see no reason why anyone
10 would ever forgive you to have different name for each of IP addresses
11 your computer has. The other question is if you really want to do that,
12 because there might be applications not expecting your computer is
13 "schizophrenic" in such way and go nutty.
