Sharepoint Server Configuration Database

I'm a sharepoint newbie and I'm on the installation phase. My question is: Can 2 sharepoint servers (different versions & running on separate machines) point to the same configuration database?

Thanks in advance!

No.

Several SharePoint servers within the same farm (which is an logical concept in SharePoint) do need to point to the same configuration database. However, in your case where you have 2 different versions (I assume you're talking SharePoint 2010 and 2013), that will not work as there are differences in the configuration databases between the two versions.

It is totally okay though to host multiple configuration databases on the same SQL server if you want.
