The way I would tackle this is to have one IP address as the canonical IP
for the machine.  You could choose the canonical IP based on subnet,
public vs private, or some other method that makes sense in your network.
>From there, I would assign the remaining IPs for that machine as service
checks only by passing them as arguments to the plugins.   This will cause
all the service checks to appear under the same host and allow you to add
an arbitrary list of service/IP combos.

Good luck.
