HA Debian Setup (2 Nodes)

[Jangita <jangita@jangita.com>]

Hi List,

This is probably not the list for this question, but I guess it is a 
good starting point since I used debian servers for all my deployments.

I want a scenario where I have two servers that appear as one server 
(one IP) to the outside world, with both servers having *exactly* the 
same data and services. So in case one server falls into a pond somehow, 
I woun't even loose a ping from my clients.

Any help or pointers as to where I can start digging for information? 
the web speaks about pacemaker, drbd, some even talk about xen with 
remus, again a flood of information, confusing at best. I want a simple 
clean solution that works great with debian. I'd prefer a bare metal 
approach with services/systems running to make sure my setup is always 
available but transparent to the various client services connecting to 
it, and also transparent to the services running inside the box(ex).

Thanks,
