Chris:

Have you seen the HA docs? http://docs.openstack.org/trunk/openstack-compute/admin/content/existing-ha-networking-options.html

If you set multi_host=True in your nova.conf, then nova will work properly with multiple nova-network services. But I've only done this with one nova-network service running on each compute host, I don't know how/if it would work if you had only two nova-network services running.

Take care,

Lorin
