Security risk of enabling: \\alias.domain name.com

Hi,

I found the article below explaining how to enable the access via alias (add regkey: DisableStrictNameChecking).

It works great but the kb doesn't mention if enabling this poses a security risk on the server and if it does, at which level?

Thoughts?

Cheers.
