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"

thanks for the quick answer. NOT to use Round robin DNS.

on one server, under /etc/sysconfig/network hostname field

HOSTNAME=mail.example.com

and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file

IPADDR=192.168.0.1

on the other server, under /etc/sysconfig/network hostname field also

HOSTNAME=mail.example.com

and /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0 file

IPADDR=192.168.0.2

is it possible? is it recommend?

my task is to have 2 zimbra servers with mail.example.com with 2 ips

192.168.0.1 is the primary, I want to rsync /opt of this server to the other server 192.168.0.2.

then, primary fails, I have a backup on the other server. no data lost....

This is what I want to achieve. but, NOT for any kind of ROUND ribbon DNS stuff..

is it possible? is it recommend?

Pls answer?
