Yes, that will work..
Sometimes the dns server wil make a warning message loading your zone info if there are 2 identical records.. but it's not fatal.
A better idea is to have two different url names and the same ip address..
And best is a separate 2nd dns server..
There is no technical reason for having two..
It's just a policy based on the fact that the internet isn't a 100% up medium, so one of the dns servers will be unavailable sometime.. and coz dns is so vital it's a good policy.
Reverse dns needs to be handled by your ISP. It is their number block so their responsibility to show correct reverse records.
