When the ethernet cable is unplugged from a laptop, the wifi interface is 
automatically activated with a different IP address.

Is there any way of making other machines on the network recognize multiple IP 
addresses for a particular machine?

At present I list the IP addresses and hostnames for all of the machines on my 
network in the /etc/hosts file.  This system worked fine when each machine had 
only one IP address, ie. before I added laptops to the network.  Now I manually 
comment/uncomment a particular IP address/hostname depending on which interface 
that particular host is using (ethernet or wifi).

Is there an easier way to achieve this?

Thanks
