First I doubt that this will work. You can assign several names to a
single IP address in DNS, but you cannot assign several IP to the same
name.

Let me guess, both NIC are connected to the same network? If so you
cannot predict what interface will reply first, so you can send a
packet through one interface and get a reply from the other interface.

In standard operation, you don't want to have your two NICs connected
to the same LAN with and IP in the same subnet.

Edit /etc/rc.conf and remove all the lines that start with: ifconfig_em1
