Will this fix break any existing legitimate access?  Aeneas has a
second true hostname; is it legal for a machine to have two distinct
net addresses (only one of which can be returned by a query; to
distinguish from a multihomed machine with complete address records)?

The right answer is:  "We use Kerberos.  This is another reason why."
