FTP and multiple machines in the .netrc

[gamesman]

Is it possible?

We're running AIX 4.1 on a R6000. We need to establish a couple of different automated FTP sessions to different servers. Currently have a .netrc file that contains a machine name with id and password and then an "init" macro. This process runs every 2 hours. we need to establish a second process that runs to a different machine once each morning. Can it be added to the same .netrc and if so, will they interfere? If it can't be added how can I automate the second process.

Current .netrc
machine <name> login <*****> password <*****>
macdef init
lcd /usr2
type binary
prompt off
cd <subdir>
mput <files>
bye

All of our FTP jobs are 'batch' files or are within other jobs and we use cron to initiate these jobs. If you need an example, I'd be happy to send you one.
