Er... just do it (r)?

Seriously, just try it yourself with the help of existing
documentation (default config file, man page, wiki, etc).

The biggest problem would probably be setting up some kind of shared
storage to store user acctounts.
- you could use users file with same entry with both nodes, but it'd
mean you have to make sure they're synced manually
- you could use a database on separate node (most common option), but
that would mean adding another single point of failure
- you could use some kind of clustered database setup, but it'd
increase the level of complexity greatly, which is beyond the scope of
this list.

So just try it from the simplest setup (with users file), and see if
it can fit your requirement. If not, then after trying you should be
able to come up with specific question on what you're having problem
with.
