In the same way it's not strictly true that every phone must have a unique number: if you don't mind other people getting your important calls then by all means. CLUSTERIP which you presumably mean by "fun with iptables" is basically "Jack gets all calls from even area codes and Jill: from odd area codes". Yeah, you cold do that, I just can't imagine why. Because the commonly given rationale for all this is load balancing and -- well, duh -- there are load balancers for that. They don't require same ip address on multiple hosts either.
