Just set up two identical servers, from DHCP and up to Desktop. Configure them with different IP, and configure each one as if being the only one. Then, they will "compete" for the clients, and the most charged server will almost always lose the new clients in favor of the discharged one, as the competition is decided in the DHCPOFFER step. After having that, the remaining problem is only to cpe with the users' home directories, for which there are plenty of solutions, starting from NFS to a third dedicated server.
