[tor-talk] Hidden Services using same onion address?

Hi,

What happens if 2 Tor systems supported different Hidden Services using 
same abc.onion address?

Is this possible?

1. If not possible, will they clash or will just one be refused?
2. If is possible, could that also be used to support the same hidden 
service (essentially location fragmentation of the hidden service) from 
different machines?

(Could this be used to launch a pseudo DOS/hijack attack on existing 
hidden services, after they've been down, say, for a minute or 2?)

Thanks,

Jo
