Take a look at the keepalived package. It will save you a lot of time.
http://www.keepalived.org/
http://packages.debian.org/stable/admin/keepalived
I used it with 2.6.8, even when there is a bug[1] that says that
you cannot use the default kernel. Well, I did this on march and
this bug is dated may. I haven't upgraded keepalived, though.
And I shouldn't do it now :)
