Multiple A records

[McNutt, Justin M.]

Is there anything wrong with having multiple A records for the same IP
address?  E.g.:

this.missouri.edu.  IN  A  10.1.1.1
that.missouri.edu.  IN  A  10.1.1.1

...etc.

Of course, 10.1.1.1 will only have one PTR record.

Anyway, this just looks wrong to me, but I can't explain it to the people
who want the names.  IS there anything wrong with it (aside from making it
harder to hunt down all of the names when 10.1.1.1 gets retired)?

Thanks!
