Would the same DHCP reservation on multiple servers cause problems?

I currently have a single DHCP server and would like to add some redundancy by moving half of the scope to another server. There are several DHCP reservations setup. If the reservations were duplicated on the second server, would there be any potential issues?

My assumption is there shouldn't be, but figured I would ask first.

TIA
 
No there will be no problem - your two DNS server should be configured with the same scope but with the opposite range of addresses excluded, you appear to want a 50 / 50 split so 50% of the addresses are excluded on one server and the other 50% excluded on the other. The same reservations should be configured on both.
