machines and thats why im finding a solution if we can do these on linux.
i think i have only a couple of hundred strands of hair... hehehe

Jepoy's idea is correct. 2 servers with different physical IP and then create a
virtual IP on the active server.
here's a sample scenario: (service = samba)
2 server(active-backup), samba service is stopped on the backup server
synchronize ALL the samba configuration/files via rsync, (put it in crontab to
sync regularly)
replicate the data via DRBD
create a virtual IP on active server (users will connect using this IP)
create a script that will do manual and auto fail/switch over.
but this one is not that easy, it will just cost you a couple of hundred of
hairs right in the middle of your head. :-))
I hope it may help.
thanks,
warren

i just want to ask this technology if its LACP or virtual ip thing. Like if i
have 2 servers running the same service and i want to have a redundancy on
these service.The 2 servers(active and backup) have different physical ip
address but the service is running on a virtual ip address, wherein if one of
them is down the service will just switch to the active server. Is this
applicable to linux? anyone tried these before?
i think what you're trying to achieve is ip bonding and high availibity, i
haven't tried it yet but i think conga (redhat) can do this.
