As isakmpd does not care (well, apart from what isakmpd.policy may
restrict) what networks are setup in phase 2, this setup should be quite
possible. I.e using the "same networks" is definitely ok.

The problem will be routing, as usual in redundancy situations. That is in
part the "normal" IP routing, but mostly the "IPsec routing", i.e getting
the boxes to select which of the two outbound IPsec SAs to use for
encryption.
