Very Computer

I'm embarking on getting a domain name in order to join several
geographically scattered computers under a single name. (They all
belong to the same company.) Their static IP addresses came from
different local ISPs in the past, and are not contiguous or part of
any particular address ranges. All the examples for setting up DNS
seem to assume the same address family for hosts ( e.g., they all
start with 192.168.1 or something ). Below are host records from a
zone file like that, followed by the file as I envision it.

Is this workable? Can I set it up this way?

"STANDARD" ZONE FILE - all A records reflect addresses in same range

linwood IN      A       206.111.111.1   ; all 3 hosts same range
linny   IN      A       206.111.111.3
lindy   IN      A       206.111.111.4

DESIRED ZONE FILE - addresses can be anything, unrelated to each other

linwood IN      A       206.111.111.1   ; linwood in one city.
linny   IN      A       210.220.200.10  ; linny and lindy elsewhere,
lindy   IN      A       210.220.200.11  ; different ISP & addresses

 dm> Can a DNS domain name span hosts with unrelated addresses?
 dm> Or must all its hosts' addresses be in the same family?

 dm> linwood IN      A       206.111.111.1   ; linwood in one city.
 dm> linny   IN      A       210.220.200.10  ; linny and lindy elsewhere,
 dm> lindy   IN      A       210.220.200.11  ; different ISP & addresses

This will work fine. DNS is not IP, and does not put any restrictions an
what can appear in the RR data.
