they have to be on different IP networks and the reason si simply to 
avoid a single-point of failure

so even if you have different IP ranges on your single machine don't do 
it - unless they come from different internet connections and your 
machine itself is a HA cluster

DNS going down has a lot of side-effects for a domain
