No. If you bind a two sided document, the two inner margins (left and right page) should have the same width than both outer margins. For the binding process, you have to additionally add a "binding correction" value, which is added to the inner margin. KOMA script has the document option "BCOR=<value>" for this. In general, you should read chapter 2 of the KOMA script documentation (on page layout and margins): http://www.ctan.org/tex-archive/macros/latex/contrib/koma-script/scrguide.pdf Jürgen.
