There are a couple of such tools for GNU/Linux. Carp is one of them :).
Not quite what we're talking about at this point :).
Live failover is something else we need to add to the infrastructure. That
task will take some effort to get approved.
For now, I just need to get our base setup in order and make sure I have
all backups and monitoring working.
I should be playing with carp and other such tools at home.
