Well, that might depend on your TTL's and the speed of the repair boyz in the NOC... :-) Keep in mind that the world will consider your DNS "broken" if you do this. DNS reporting services will flag you if your 2 servers on are the same *subnet*, much less the same IP addy... Obviously, what people think is of little concern in your situation, I'm guessing....
