Duplicate Host Names

Our production box has a couple of different IP addresses only one of which
has been set up in the TCP/IP Host Table (AKA option 10 on CFGTCP).

What are the implications of setting up each IP address with the same host
name?  ie 10.1.15.3 = SYSNAME 10.2.15.3 = SYSNAME.

This came to light because I am seeing a lot of TCP12F5 (FTP server unable
to determine system name.) in the QTFTP* jobs which I assume is because we
don't have the IP addresses for all the interfaces in the host table.


Thanks,

Gord
