Hello,
Seems like this is a basic networking and name resolution issue, check the 
client config and go through your DNS, pointer records, duplicate entries , IP 
changes etc and you would find the issue.Giving the alieas name of both servers 
could potentially cause index issues as you already noticed.
Thanks
