We have *definately* seen this behavior; I've also read about this in 
an FAQ somewhere (where, I don't remember... the grey matter upstairs 
went on strike).  We *tried* to run DNS on such a server (400 hosts),
and it kept dying, not starting, etc *after* the IP aliases were defined.
It would do fine if we started *before*.  We ended up moving the DNS
server  to a different machine (it was only a secondary) instead of
reading the source code due to time constraints.
