Not if you copy the leases file :
Stop server A1 & A2
Copy leases file from (A1 or A2) to B1
Start server B1
Start server B2 and let it sync the leases from B1
For doing this, it may be easier starting off with server B in
partner down mode - I'm sure someone more familiar with failover will
pop up to say if that helps or not.
