Also, plug the nic into the secondary (with the same IP address) but just don't autostart the interface. If the first box goes down, your monitoring box can connect to the management interface on the second box and bring up the traffic interface (and anything else that needs bringing up, like maybe Asterisk :)

Ok probably not strictly an asterisk question.
I have an asterisk box, which is running some non-critical telephones in our organisation, and if it fails it fails.
However comming from a telecoms background I always want to make things recoverable quickly. Since I have little budget, and down time isn't an issue my thoughts are as folllows
2 servers with 2 NIC's each, one nic for managment, one for traffic. 1 NIC on each machine has the same IP address, but only one is plugged into the network at any one time.
2 PRI's that are plugged into the machine that is live to traffic.
Apart from the managment NIC having different IP addresses they are configured identically
If I make a change to the in-service server, how do I automagically get the other server to take a copy of it?
I'm not a linux man by trade, so if you say set up master / slave would you be kind enough to suggest an aplication and how it would be implimented.
