John,

  That is correct. msktutil updates the key of the computer account. So the 
second msktutil call with the same computer-name will make the first entry 
invalid. But you can have host and http asssigned to the same AD account if 
you use other tools like net ads join with net ads keytab.

Regards
Markus
