I do not think that you can do this with /etc/hosts. You will have to set up DNS. hosts is searched in order and the first match is what is given. But even then when you have multiple ips for the same name in your zone files, bind 8 will automatically do round robin i.e the first time it will give you the first ip the second time you ask it, the second, the third time the third etc. - : send the line "unsubscribe linux-net" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org
