DNS multiple host records

Question

I have an internal web server that hosts multiple sites. When I create an additional host record in DNS for the same IP address the XG tells me: "Failed to add/update DNS Host Entry. Identical configuration 'name.domain.com' already exists". 
 How do I add multiple host records? 
 Thanks!

Darhl, 
 this feature is available only on UTM9, not on XG. 
 Sophos is working to get an improvement on objects and the type of them available. Let's hope they will integrate it soon. 
 I am waiting for DNS Availability Group:

Luk, 
 I've been playing around with this because I just had a hard time believing I couldn't assign multiple host records to the same IP address. I found that the real issue is in the reverse DNS. When I add a second site and do NOT check the reverse DNS, it allows me to create multiple host records for the same IP. 
 It kind of makes sense to only allow one reverse DNS record.
