Issues with VTP

I am having a hard time understanding some features with VTP. I do not have enough switches to test these models, so any help is appreciated.

1) What will happen if (2) switches in server mode are implemented in the same VTP domain?

Thank you all...
Cheers!!!

Nothing bad will happen... it's just another opportunity for changes to be made to the vlan database.

I'm reading Hucaby's BCMSN guide, and he suggests that two vtp servers can not only co-exist, but that this is usually recommended for redundancy. If one server is configured with a new vlan or vtp parameter, it advertises the changes to the rest of the domain, and the other server(s) will synch their databases accordingly.

Thanks.

When servers advertise the changes, the "configuration revision" is incremented by (1) correct?

Yes, the configuration revision is incremented by 1 if a change was performed on one of the vtp servers.
