I would find it very useful. I just had an issue today where a user had 5 "aliased" domains. I think it is a good idea to have the rows duplicated. It's important to also be able to breakout the alias domain in case they need to be individual records. So for instance when you have foo.com and bar.com is an alias to foo.com you want to add a record to bar.com you could be prompted to copy all records from foo.com to the new bar.com domain. Well that's adds a bit of complexity to the situation. Bill you do a great job, alias domains would be a very welcome addition.
