You also have the problem where you cant have 1 ethernet cable plugged into two routers at the same time, unless you add switches in the front, which then adds complexity to setup and another point of failure. There is no question that there is value to a hardware redundant single server, in a mission ciritical environment. The question is, can one afford it, and is it cost justified. MANY CAN cost justify it. I cant. Its also possible for redundant hardware to fail, so there is also value to having a fail over second router.
