That is a very common scenario (because you usually can use a single software license on both machines). Lots of solutions exist for it, the most common probably being the Linux heartbeat program: http://linux.die.net/man/8/heartbeat As long as it is just for your application server a simple heartbeat should do, if you use it for database servers or other servers where multiple active nodes could cause problems make sue you combine it with a STONITH solution.
