We use two identically configured servers with a shared DRBD (http://www.drbd.org/) partition that contains the nagios state/log/config files, Linux Heartbeat (http://www.linux-ha.org/), and a role IP address to do redundancy. We can literally yank the plug on one of the servers and nagios will be back up in about 10 seconds.

I wouldn't say I suggest this solution (we're doing it because the nagios servers also host a number of other services that we want to failover automatically) but it does achieve automated redundancy/failover.

Other than the methods described in the official docs (http://nagios.sourceforge.net/docs/3_0/redundancy.html) and Merlin (http://www.op5.org/community/projects/merlin) are there any other suggested solutions for setting up redundant Nagios servers?
