The answer is yes.

 

I left this as a comment because... One, I would like to know what is driving an ACTIVE/ACTIVE deployment. I find they are best avoided. If you are building this so that one system can handle the load, I would just deploy ACTIVE/STANDBY. If you are planning on loading the systems past the ability of one, understand the failure scenarios.

 

Secondly, if you go ACTIVE/ACTIVE I would encourage you to go with two /24s for ease of IP management and possible ease of configuring automated VIP deployment systems in the future.

 

Best of luck on your deployment!!!
