Yes, per the spec:
"For robustness purpose, multiple RP-mapping agents may be configured
inside the same administrative domain. Each RP-mapping agent also
listens to the the RP mapping discovery group CISCO-RP-DISCOVERY, and
suppresses the sending of its own RP-mapping packets if it hears
RP-mapping packets originated from another RP-mapping agent with a
higher IP address."

Thanks for this Mike.
When Eric posted this question I wondered if the higher IP address was
the key to the Auto-RP mapping agent preference. I think that's what you
are saying? I started scrounging around in my books but nothing else
seemed to indicate a preference of one over another.
