Most registrars do not care.  I even saw some that require you to 
provide two IP addresses on the web form, but you could simply type same 
IP address twice.  After all, if all your name server(s) become 
unreachable, it is going to hurt only you.  Once I saw an organization 
that had two DNS servers on separate networks.  But the servers were 
located in the same rack, connected to the same UPS that was barely big 
enough to power them up for about a minute in case of power failure. 
Most registrars realize that people will do stupid things like that if 
they start really forcing policies, so they simply don't bother.
