I'm happy heartbeat works for you Tilman. Unfortunately for me, since
I'm using a hosting company, adding additional hardware to my machines
is somewhat of a pain. So I guess I'll continue using fake :)

As you can see, Machine 1 and 2 are actually working backends, with
Machine
1 usually serving as frontend, too. If it goes down, heartbeat on
Machine 2
will detect this via Ethernet and serial cable, fire up the virtual
interface for the official IP and start the http-frontend on that
interface. I am aware of the fact that IP takeover this way works only
with
2 machines, but that's enough for us. A serial cable is not mandatory,
you
can also have two different ethernet connections AFAIK. That would allow
for
more distance between the machines, but you might get in routing trouble
then...
BTW: some ideas regarding my MIME-type-mess posting?
Best regards,
Tilman
