GC and IM when I have only two Domain Controllers

Two forests, one-way trust between Perimeter forest and internal network.

I am aware that I should not house the Infrastructure Master (FSMO) role in
the box set as GC in a dual-domain environment.

In my case I have total of two domain controllers in the "Perimeter" forest
and I would like to enable the two DC's as GC to provide redundancy. Is that
Ok ?
