Hmm? I am not sure why you might want to do this. You can safely install multiple services via mod_dnssd that use different URLs on the same host name. If you want to define aliases for hostnames (i.e. CNAMES), than you can easily write a program in python that registers those. I'd also be happy to accept a patch for avahi proper that adds a file /etc/avahi/aliases akin to /etc/avahi/hosts but only for defining CNAME aliases for the local host.
