Hmm, it's been 10 years since I worked for the networking group here, and we used to use the term "multi-homed" to describe deviation from the old "one machine, one IP address" paradigm.
But I guess I don't really know which of the following four situations "multi-homed" really refers to:
1. Having multiple IP addresses (the sense in which I used it) without reference to the actual hardware situation
2. Having multiple logical interfaces, all going through one physical interface (might be identical to 1?)
2. Having multiple physical interfaces all of which are connected to the same physical net (perhaps for reliability or load balancing?)
3. Having multiple interfaces which are connected to different networks (in this case and only this case routing is a non-trivial concern).
Yes, I did miss the "name-based" in the original posting. Mea culpa.

Actually, you can, but they have to have separate IP addresses.
(Requiring the server host to be multi-homed...)
Nit: You can configure multiple IP addresses on a single interface.
