Linux servers to failover for redundancy

mawk1000 · 06-09-2008, 10:00 AM

I have 2 linux servers that I want to set up one as my main production server, however I would like it to failover automatically to the second server in the case of the first server going down due to hardware failure (I dont require load balancing at this stage). Is there an accepted/recommended method of doing this out there?
Cheers M
