Do you have two independent internet connections? If you do, by all means have two (or perhaps four) peered border servers. If you don't, all the usual reasons why you should not have two servers apply. I feel that there is one, and perhaps not more than one, scenario where two servers are better and no worse than one. If the second gets its time only from the first, it can serve as a backup against power failure in the primary or similar circumstances.
