It doesn't state that the IP addresses must be unique. Were that the case then blacklists such as <https://someonewhocares.org/hosts/hosts> which employ the hosts file method would be broken. AFAIK this method has around for a long time, I don't see this behavior changing anytime soon even if it turned out to be "against spec". Cheers, Bruno
