none. You would run multiple bearerboxes on different machines  
connecting to the same smsc for example. every one would handle the  
same keywords in parallel.

Depends a bit on the SMSC but basically yes.
in terms of MO processing this is no problem. Incoming SMS can be  
handled by either bearerbox/smsbox bundle as long as the configs are  
the same.
in terms of MT processing, there should be two different accounts as  
the SMSC might return a delivery report to the wrong machine  
otherwise. By using a different account, you make sure the delivery  
report gets to the same machine who submitted it.
