This is true, but it is not allowed in DNS for one host to have multiple
addresses. At least the DNS admin at my previous job claimed this was so.
If you give each interface a DNS entry, each name must be unique.
Even if you have an internal DNS with one address, and an external DNS with
a different address, when your own host looks itself it, it can only get
one A record back.
So, if what I understand of DNS is true, it is just that easy.

No matter what we think of Linux versus FreeBSD, etc., the one thing I
really like about Linux is that it has Microsoft worried. Anything
that kicks a monopoly in the pants has got to be good for something.
