What I have found most difficult in any failover situation is having everything decide at the same time something has failed.
(this applies to anything not just asterisk)
For example how does the polycom react if it can make the sip connection, but no outbound routes are available on the primary server for some reason ? Is your setup smart enough to actually shut down asterisk completely if its upstream network interface or route is dead to prevent local connections ?

what if both servers are in that situation ? would they both shut down, neither ? what would you want to happen in that case ?

They are not trivial questions to answer and the answers depend on your setup, there is no univeral right way of handling it.

Polycom phones after firmware 2.x register to BOTH the primary and backup 
servers.

        Would the simplest approach to failover be to just configure my
        primary asterisk server as the first SIP server and my backup as the
        second?
