You can add any number of web, ftp, whois, IRC etc. servers to the DNS by
placing suitable A (or CNAME) records in the primary zone file for the
relevant domain. As long as the names are legal, they can be chosen
freely; there's nothing magic about e.g. "www2".

Note that if you want to do round robin, all the records for that service
need to have the same host name, as in the example below.
