Yes: "server_aliases"
However, it is nearly impossible maintain the server aliases database
for a huge number of hosts. So I wrote a small Perl script to set up the
database automatically by interpreting all the visited hosts and their
DNS aliases. Search the List archive for "mapnames.pl".
And to the ht://Dig Developer team: I'm still waiting for that
"distinguish-aliases-from-virtual-hosts-automatically" feature. *grin*
