One SSL cert for 2 servers?

We want to setup a backup server that resides at a different datacenter from the primary server. We are going to use dnsmadeeasy and if there is ever a major problem at the primary, we will change the dns and point all users over to the second server.

My question is this: Will I have to purchase a second SSL certificate for the second server or can I use a single certificate for both servers.

If I have to buy another one, is there a problem with puchasing a second SSL certificate for the same domain name seeing how it will be on a different IP address?

Thanks for your time.
Jason
