If you're asking whether it's safe for A and B to both be exporting
something named (for example) "/home"--sure, that's fine.

(If you want the exports from both servers to actually see the same
data, with changes made through A reflected on B and vice versa--at that
point you need a cluster filesystem backing the exports and things
become more complicated.  But I think that's not what you're asking
for.)
