As long as the servers can see each other and you set the relevant option it should work fine. The GUI settings were designed for frontend/backend. The problem your colleague saw is not something I would expect to see - if the feature was setup correct in the first place.
The common problem is where people have put a frontend server in to a DMZ (bad idea) and have the ports locked down to a specific internal machine. The frontend server cannot communicate with the second server and fails to connect. The frontend server needs direct access to all backend servers to function correctly.

We are adding a new mailbox server (all users will move to this new server in the coming weeks) and I was wondering if there are any gotchas or things I need to worry about regarding RPC/HTTP with this scenario. I have a colleague who went through a similar process and he lost RPC/HTTP functionality until he removed one of the back end servers. Any advice is appreciated.
