Virtual Hosts and Alteon DNS conflicts

Hi,

This is more of a verification rather than a question of technical nature.

This is based on solaris 10 machine

Could we use Virtual hosts (within our hosts file):
123.1.1.10 virtual_host_name
123.1.1.10 host_A
(note: 123.1.1.10 - host_A is also in our DNS server entry)

And also have alteon switch pointing to (222.1.1.2) to the same name 'virtual_host_name'? (matched as such in the DNS server entry)

That is 2 different IP's using the same hostname.

What is also we added a second server (with hosts file):
123.1.1.20 virtual_host_name
123.1.1.20 host_B
(note: 123.1.1.20 - host_B is also in our DNS server entry)

That would make it 3 different IP's using the same hostname.

Just for info. in the nsswitch.conf file, we have put DNS in front of the files:
hosts: files dns

Any help would be much appreciated. If this is not clear and you have questions, please post them, thank you.

NAME

       avahi.hosts - avahi-daemon static host name file

SYNOPSIS

       /etc/avahi/hosts

DESCRIPTION

       /etc/avahi/hosts is a file which may be used to define static host name to IP address mappings for multicast DNS. This is especially useful
       when publishing DNS-SD services on behalf of other hosts. See avahi.service(5) for more information.

       The file format is similar to the one of /etc/hosts: on each line an IP address and the corresponding host name. The host names  should  be
       in FQDN form, i.e. with appended .local suffix.
