Morning all.

I'm currently setting up a private server that needs to be up 24/7, and I'd like it to have failover (already have 2 systems with identical hardware running).

But I don't need load balancing, Just when node 1 goes down, have node 2 take over automatically.

I know it can be done for the web server using Apache, but what about other services (MySQL and ShoutCast transcoder)?

I have a 3rd server available to act as the proxy, if needed, but no idea on how to set them up.

Thanks in advance for all the suggestions!

One option:

That seems to be aimed more at clusters though.

All I really need is a way to watch to see if the primary server goes down, and if so, transfer to the secondary server. Preferably a low resource, low maintenance setup. Bonus points if it could wake-on-lan the second server.
