Similar problem, the Layer 2 adresses have to be the same as well, or it 
will not respond until the Arp-Cache timer expires.

Sounds like you need a Hardware cluster.  2 machines that appear as one 
Virtual machine, have two redundant Network connections...   These typically 
use a Single storage subsytem, with redundancy built into it as well.

Assuming this isn't a hypothetical situation, when you get to this level of 
redundancy, you need to consider physical location.  I.e. You should 
consider whether ot not to set all this up in a earthquake-prone flood zone 
that might be hit with a tidal wave and was voted "Most Likely to be 
destroyed in a Nuclear attack" by a major media publication.
