CentOS - Aug 2011 - Can two machines in the same network have the same hostname with different IPs?

Hi,


Can two machines in the same network have the *same hostname* with different
IPs? I have done it in test environment. I want to do it under production?

is it possible ? is it recommended?


let's say .

one Server is *mail.example.com* with ip address* 192.168.0.1*

the other Server is also *mail.example.com* but with another ip
address *192.168.0.2
*

Thank you

Are you trying to use Round Robin DNS?
Yes, you can

But, remember.. If you use same hostname, the client will access to
them in "random"
