Is it possible to have to keys in a custom configsection with the same values?

Question

I've the following in my app.config:

<XPathFilter>
    <outbound>
     <filter **message="ProductChangeMessage"**  xpath="//acs:productDetails[acs:productType =  'Loan']" />
      <filter **message="ProductChangeMessage"**  xpath="//acs:productDetails[acs:productType = 'Test']" />
   </outbound>
</XPathFilter>

I've a set of classes i use to read elements from in here...they work fine except when 2 filters have the same message value. I get

System.Configuration.ConfigurationErrorsException: The entry 'ProductChangeMessage' has already been added.

Is it not allowed.
