OT: How to cluster two computers

*My* goal would be to remove single point failure. I've got a FreeBSD 
server with raid, but if the raid card fails or the motherboard fails, 
I'm offline until it's fixed or I switch over to it's backup.

It'd be *really nice* to know that there'd be a machine that could cover 
for the downed solider within a second.

What I guess is needed is still a single point aggregator to funnel the 
traffic between the workstation and the server-array. Other wise you'd 
still loose your telnet/ssh connection. You can swap IP addresses on two 
  FreeBSD boxes in less than a second, but does anyone know how 
ssh/telnet would respond? It'd break the connection I'd guess, and you'd 
loose data.

Actually this goes back to the threads of this past weekend about 
offsite backups.

Does anyone have a off-premise "hotsite" running filePro applications 
that can be brought up in seconds in the event of a fire/ theft/ 
tornado/ earthquake/ natural and un-natural event?
