I got the impression multiple aliases were supported.
I confirmed they are. From the /etc/hosts man page (man 5 hosts):
"For each host a single line should be present with the following information:
IP_address canonical_hostname [aliases...]

Try changing to:
208.201.233.232 twain.sonic.net twain 208.201.233.233 smiley.sonic.net smiley
Sonic.net net knows not of twain and smiley. They're my fictitious names for these two hosts.
