https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/7.4/en/manual/appendix/config/zabbix_agentd#hostname
For example if I have this configured:
ServerActive=127.0.0.1,10.33.0.4 Hostname=it0,it22
the agent will start 4 active check process, dedicated for separate connections:
# egrep sending zabbix_agentd.log | grep config_revision

If a more simple thing - only one IP:
ServerActive=127.0.0.1 Hostname=it0,it22
then:
# egrep sending zabbix_agentd.log | grep config_revision
