multiple IP addresses in /etc/hosts

[Eric Fiterman]

Hi:

  Is it possible to have an application like ping or telnet iterate
through IP addresses for a given hostname, if a previous attempt fails?

  For example:

  in /etc/hosts:
---------------
  0.0.0.1 testhost
  0.0.0.2 testhost
  0.0.0.3 testhost
---------------

If I attempt to 'ping testhost', and the first entry (0.0.0.1) fails, is
there anything to configure which would allow an automatic attempt to
ping 0.0.0.2? Is this possible?

Thanks

Eric
