Mounting a LUN on more than one machine

Hi all.

I've got a CX300 with two RHEL4 machines using it as storage for their Oracle databases. Some data, that isn't part of a running database, I would like to share between the two machines. Now clearly I could do this my having one machine share the LUN via Samba or NFS and the other connecting to the share but this would be limited by the speed of the network. So I was wondering whether it is possible to mount a LUN on two different machines at the same time. If so, is it a recommended solution or is it best to steer clear of? Also is there anything I should look out for?

Thanks in advance for any help received.
