I am trying to work with PathAuto module for URL aliases.

I want to tag a content with mutliple categories. Can we have different aliases for different categories. See the example below.

Example:
About Elephants (Categories: History | Zoo | Animals |Mammals | Africa)

The node url will be www.example.com/node/87
URL aliases:
    a) www.example.com/History/About-Elephants
    b) www.example.com/Zoo/About-Elephants
    c) www.example.com/Animals/About-Elephants
    d) www.example.com/Animals/Mammals/About-Elephants
    e) www.example.com/Continents/Country/Africa/About-Elephants

Can we have multiple URL aliases like the above example using PathAuto. If yes, can somebody guide for the settings.

Also, How does it effect the SEO search engine. Is it advisable to do so?

Because, google will recoginze as content duplicated with multiple urls. Will it have any effect on website ranking, page rank, etc.....

Thanks

You can have multiple URL aliases, and I am pretty sure that google will search that page as many times as it has an alias, because google will think it is a different page every time.

Have you had any luck implementing this?

I am wanting to use the same technique for changing the stylesheet based on the url.

This is the only technique that will work perfectly with caching.
