start up script

[Ravi Kumar Munnangi <munnangi_ivar@yahoo.com>]

Users,
 
  Iam working in a LAN with a number of systems.
  A system has X hardware address and another has Y
hardware address.
  I want to set the hardware address of the second
system
  also to X.
  I also want to set the primary IP addresses of both
  systems to 172.31.19.30.
  So when I ping to 172.31.19.30, both the systems
  should respond.

  The topology of LAN we are using is star. All
systems
  are connected to a Switch.
  Does the settings change when we are using a bus
  topology?
  
  Do I have to write a start up script?
  How should I write?
   
  My actual goal is to start 2 web servers on two
  systems with same hardware address and same 
  primary IP address but with different secondary
  IP addresses. So when a request comes from a 
  client, the request has to be seen by both 
  systems. I will write some mechanism by which only
  one will respond finally.

  Please help!
  
  Thanks in advance,
  ravikumar
