This is a bit of a noobish question but...

I've been solo mining various coins over the last couple months successfully on one machine.  I recently set up a second machine and have it mining away without issue as well.

My question is regarding efficiency.  If I'm solo mining on two machines on a LAN, with one machine running the coin client in server mode and mining, and the other machine's miner pointed at the client on the first machine...is this sufficient?   Does the client somehow share out the work between the two machines so they are not "working against each other" (say, working on the same block)?  Or is it better to use p2pool with multiple machines?  

Thanks in advance!

We're all working on the same block.  Just not, usually, creating the exact same hash's.  So mining with two machines is better than one.
A: Because it messes up the order in which people normally read text.
Q: Why is top-posting such a bad thing?
A: Top-posting.
Q: What is the most annoying thing on usenet and in e-mail?

Ok thanks, I just wanted to be sure I wasn't somehow "creating redundancy", if you know what I mean.
