For those who aren't tracking the git version of cobbler, it includes
support for multiple interfaces.

Currently, cobbler has a "hostname" field for every interface.   This
is confusing and incorrect.   Every host has exactly one hostname, so
"hostname" should be a system field.    It may make sense to change
hostname in the interfaces to dns_name, alias, or something similar,
but it is not a hostname.   If I were crafting the tool towards my
specific situation, I'd drop "name" and just have "hostname" on the
system, then optional support for dns names on interfaces (which I
could then forward into DNS).

Each interface (say we have AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:EE, AA:BB:CC:DD:EE:FF) can be handed a seperate IP (say 192.168.1.50, 192.168.151) and then we can give those IPs different names in DNS.

So, if I understand correctly, this is just a discussion on the name of the field?
