Without seeing a traceroute to a particular machine on Janina's rednote.net domain that illustrates your example, I'm not sure what the exact answer to your question is. However, if I do understand what you're asking for, then all your friend should need to do is to put an A record into his DNS zones using the same IP address in each A record.
