Having two instances on the same server won't provide a huge amount of redundancy, but if he wants to run everything on the same server, there's again either a shared hardware loadbalancer which can be had fairly cheap at a place like HMS, or set up LVS or something in VMWare on the same box. If he's already on Linux, he can probably even use the same box.
I believe Apache also has some rudimentary load balancing built in, but it probably wouldn't work for this.
