Hi, You could also use network equipment to load balance / failover your servers. Have a look to layer 4 / layer 7 switches (www.foundry.net, I think, for example)
More than redundancy, you can think in a scalability/disponibility way. Have two or more servers work together instead of one at a time. Make a search in ML archives, this subject have been deal many times.
