I am referring to when binding one of the IP alias to an application. For example if I take any application installed on my server and tell it to connect to another source from a specific IP alias, or listen on a specific alias, there are issues with the hostname. When an external source does a lookup, it comes with the server's hostname instead of the hostname I want to show up for that specific IP. Do you know why this happens?

the name of the host is constant, it doesn't change with the IP address that a specific connection happens to be using.

but, when you say, 'external source does a lookup', what /exactly/ do you mean?
