    No, it is not possible. Hostname is the name that is returned when the
    "hostname" command is run. This command only returns one single name.

    However, if you intend to set up two network interfaces with different
    IP addresses, these two interfaces may have two different labels
    (names) defined in your local /etc/hosts file or in your domain name
    server. For the former, simply set up the network interfaces using
    "smitty chinet" and add the labels to /etc/hosts (for details refer to
    any guide on AIX networking, or search on google.com); for the latter,
    consult your DNS administrator, it's a bit more tricky.

    Cheers,
    Z.
