Can DNS be configured to use multiple targets for a single CNAME?

According to the standards you can have multiple DNS records for the same host name as long as they point to different endpoints. This is the same for A, AAAA, CNAME, MX, etc. As long as your site exists on all the servers you are pointing to then you can configure CNAME records for each and every hostinger.net server.

My host has various CNAME target server
eg
server1.hostinger.net server2.hostinger.net server3.hostinger.net server4.hostinger.net server5.hostinger.netIs a good thing configure the same www.mysite.com cname with al these targets? Something like
CNAME | TTL |Target www.mysite.com | 1440 |server1.hostinger.net www.mysite.com | 1440 |server2.hostinger.net www.mysite.com | 1440 |server3.hostinger.net www.mysite.com | 1440 |server4.hostinger.netor I must use only a single target?
