In theory, no, but in practice, yes, since not everybody is peering with
the second route server yet, so it's not receiving and redistributing all
the same prefixes that the older route server is. Other than having
identical configs, the two route servers are completely independant - they
don't peer with each other as there seemed little point in taking routes
from the old RS to the new RS when the whole point of this is to provide
some security again failure in either RS. So give it time, I'd expect the
number of prefixes to tend toward equivalence as more people peer with
both.
Ideally, I'd like to get everybody peering with both RS by the end of the
month, as around about then Citylink is moving machine rooms, and with two
route servers we can provide continuity of service even while one of them
is in the back of my car :-). At the same time, one of the route servers
will move to some other point on Citylink, to provide some geographical
diversity.
