You may be trying to do this the hard way. Instead of trying to tie the same IP 
to both NICs, which presents configuration challenges at the best of times, just 
have the name be the same and it becomes a multi-homed node. That's pretty well 
handled by almost everything without wizard level config, if you run your own 
DNS you have two A records for the name, and reverse DNS both IPs resolve back 
to the same name.

This was my solution, and I don't recall any issues, forward and reverse DNS 
lookups, IP and name assign in DHCP.

I don't know if this will solve your problem, it's quite simple, I've also done 
complex things which ran through a VPN always, on the cable, on the wifi, and 
from the outside when I'm on the road.
