Should the number of prefixes on each be that different?
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.
