I think That I understand the question being asked by NH2.
There's a system with two interfaces A and B connected to A and B LAN's. Interface A is up and working with an ip address and LAN A users can access it.
Interface B is down (no ip address) but is there a way that LAN B users could be told (by enquiring on the MAC address or something) that the system has an alternative address on LAN A (assuming of course that there is a gateway between LAN A and LAN B that they could go through).
The only answer that I can think of (and I'm not a networking guru) is, yes, let them call for the system by name and use a DNS server.

wakeonlan
WAKEONLAN(8) BSD System Manager's Manual WAKEONLAN(8)
NAME
wakeonlan -- send Wake on LAN frames to hosts on a local Ethernet network
SYNOPSIS
wakeonlan [interface] lladdr [lladdr ...]
DESCRIPTION
The wakeonlan program is used to send Wake on LAN (WoL) frames over a local Ethernet network to one or more hosts using their link layer
(hardware) addresses. WoL functionality is generally enabled in a machine's BIOS and can be used to power on machines from a remote system
without having physical access to them.
interface is an Ethernet interface of the local machine and is used to send the Wake on LAN frames over it. If there is only one Ethernet
device available that is up and running, then the interface argument can be omitted. lladdr is the link layer address of the remote machine.
This can be specified as the actual hardware address (six hexadecimal numbers separated by colons) or as a hostname entry in /etc/ethers.
wakeonlan accepts multiple lladdr addresses. Link layer addresses can be determined and set using ifconfig(8).
FILES
/etc/ethers Ethernet host name data base.
SEE ALSO
ethers(5), ifconfig(8)
