If I understand what you're saying:
192.0.2.1 host.example.net host-en
198.51.100.1 host.example.net host-pro

I guess I shouldn't elide multi-homing and instead address it directly.
Or at least clarify the paradigm.
Should a given host name appear on more than one entry / line in the
hosts file if it's only got one IP (other than 127.0.0.1 / ::1)?
