A host has 1 hostname. What is set as HOSTNAME= in
/etc/sysconfig/network reflect in /etc/hosts. For the second NIC / IP
set an additional line in /etc/hosts so that you can reach the address
by name. If you run a DNS server then enter the additional name and IP
in it's forward and reverse zone files.
