I have such setup in several places and I've see no problem yet. But well, I
just discovered the same issue at one other server ;)

Ah, yes, it's plain-text :)
But there's only 1 IP for the server, but there are 8 lines for the server:
"MYDOMAIN#1b" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 64R
"MYSERV#00" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 66R
"MYDOMAIN#1c" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 e4R
"MYSERV-ALIAS#03" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 64R
"MYSERV#03" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 66R
"MYSERV-ALIAS#20" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 64R
"MYSERV#20" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 66R
"MYSERV-ALIAS#00" 1193031291 192.168.1.31 64R

I tried deleting wins.dat this morning, but it didn't help :(
I also set "interfaces = xl1 lo0" (xl1 is my innter interface), but it
didn't have any effect either.
