I guess, it makes sense if the two interfaces are on different
networks (on distinct internet connections). In this case the DNS of
primary_hostname could point to both addresses. I do not know in what
format would an exim dns lookup for an A record, but if it returns
all addresses one could still check that one matches the client host
address.
