Yes, and there are valid reasons why you might want to do this. IN DNS, these are called aliases or CNames. If you have a web site called www.John.com, but anticipate some will misspell it as www.jon.com, then you can have both of these point to the same IP address. This way the user will get the appropriate page in both cases. This is just one example, and one possible way of dealing with it.

Revised answer:
Yes and No. You can do it but it won't work "out of the box".
Each machine on your network must have a unique IP address. If you have 2 machines who use the same IP address then you'll have an IP conflict.
The exception here is if you're using a local director type appliance that will NAT the one IP address found in DNS (maybe in round robin or by port) to internal IP addresses that *are* unique.

you do no longer want a router between them for call determination according to se, DNS does that. yet you do want a direction (various of routers) for them to speak, i.e. do zone transfers. The IP shape of each and every is beside the point. The router(s) will preserve routing between the two subnets.

Depends on the server itself. If they are both under the same host then no. The NAT will allow it to happen if its under a different host though. Just change 1 number in the last digit and it will work just as fine. DHCP is your best bet if your not very experienced.

You can not have duplicate IP address's on the same network, regardless of name.

Yes -- you can have as many hostnames as you want assigned to an IP.
