[oclug] Subnets with identical addresses... HowTo????

Is it possible to have two subnets with the same address,  but on
different interfaces?  eg:

  eth0: inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0
  eth1: inet addr:10.0.0.1  Bcast:10.0.0.255  Mask:255.255.255.0

Clearly, these would be on their own disjoint private networks.

If so, where do I find the information (i.e., what does the world call
this sort of arrangement so I can sick a decent search engine on the
job).  Multihoming is close, but not quite right.

Thanks in advance...
