We actually want to have two separate routers for the sake of
redundancy. We want two boxes that will both be active for their
respective applications, but they would be built such that if one box
failed it would be a simple thing to move those services to the other
box.

That's the idea anyway. :)  It remains to be seen if it's a good one or
not.
