I don't think you're being quite specific enough, which has me left
wondering why you want to do this. If you're talking about monitoring
the client-side aspects A) who cares if they show up on both hostnames
and B) isn't that going to get confusing if the client moves to a
different server?

I personally do this on many virtualhost names (eg. my.example.com and
server01.example.com). I do not try to treat "my" as another client,
and just monitor conn, and the services that are supposed to be
available. The client-side stuff is on the line with the client name.
