Feature Request re: static lease duplicates(?)

Error "This Hostname, IP, MAC address or Client identifier already exists"
The error message implies that if any of those is duplicated, setting the static lease is prevented.
If a box has both ethernet
and
wifi, and you try to set a static lease for both forms of connectivity, it balks when the second one has an identical hostname. Any box is not limited to a single ethernet port/card, nor wifi, and neither necessarily exclusive, so shouldn't it be possible to have multiple forms of connectivity? I believe it should issue a warning note that a duplicate hostname was attempted, with a confirmation prompt whether to keep the duplication.
Feature req:
(given the above is resolved to permit duplicate hostname)
If the intent in the future is to reach a specific host through an IP, yes uniqueness is a good thing, but could it seek out an alternate IP/connection from those of the same hostname when one IP fails?
