Pitfalls of domain-name aliasing?
I've just applied to register an *.org domain name that will be aliased
to my Linux box (already an *.edu host). I'm wondering whether any of
the standard Debian Internet services are likely to need reconfiguration
if an IP address becomes associated with more than one Internet name.
I use Exim for mail delivery, and I know that I'll have to configure it
to accept mail for the *.org alias as local. (I haven't RTFM yet to
figure out which lines need changing.) Can I safely assume that other
Internet daemons and servers won't care whether the host is being
accessed under the canonical name or an alias?
