Yeah, just point them at the same DB. You may want to investigate doing
dual MX records instead. Put them at the same weight, and the traffic
will balance out quite nicely. This gives you the ability to take one
down to work on it, while the other one handles the traffic without
having to muck with DNS. It also helps when one unexpected decides to go
down.
