You can add multiple IP's but for most purposes all you need
is multiple names pointing to the one IP address.  You can
do this with DNS aliases:
othername  IN   CNAME   realname
and you can add as many other names as you want.
If you do add multiple IP's, be aware that the source address
for outbound connections may change to one of the new ones
so you may have to adjust firewall and access rules.
