Play in the rear axle

How much in/out and up/down play is normal for a rear axle? With my car jacked up and the rear brakes removed, I can slide my axle in and out about 1/8 of an inch. With the brakes and tire installed I can lift up on the tire and feel/hear play between the axle bearing and axle shaft. Is any of this normal?
