Nameserver IPs

In the days before the Shared Registry System there could not be
multiple nameserver host names for a single IP address. If you
attempted to create a new one, the info just went to the old hostname.

After SRS, this was still the case. In fact, this was the case pretty
much the last time I typed the wrong IP number in the blank.

Tonight I connected the same IP number to two different nameserver
hostnames. Is this a bug in the new SRS release or is this a new
functionality of the system? Are there any issues that anyone knows
about that I should avoid this?

Currently to support a large portion of my client base and work out
shortcomings in a legacy registry system, I have to use alternate
hostnames for some DNS servers pointing to my normal servers. I am
using A records to avoid the delay in using CNAMES, but that's the
general idea.

Previously I couldn't, but now it looks like I could create these
nameservers at the registry to speed up the queries. Good idea? Bad
idea cause it breaks something? Bug?
