If you are configuring for redundancy you must follow some guidelines:

First thing - Each RR and group of RRC's is classified as a CLUSTER.

The RRC's must identically peer with each RR.
Each RR should peer with identical non-RRCs.
You must manually specify an identical cluster ID on both routers (if not,
each RR uses it's BGP RID as the Cluster ID, this will cause loops in the
redundant cluster). (use the command bgp cluster-id x.x.x.x under router
config mode)

I am trying to configure two routers as route reflectors inside a single BGP
AS. Is it better to have all the routers in the AS peer to *both* route
reflectors, or would it be better to have the routers peer to just one
route-reflector? By making the routers peer to both route-reflectors, you
will get a measure of redundancy in your network, but I can't seem to get it
working like this. Any impressions on how to do this?

Thanks, Rob.
