Ariz, Using rsync from the master to the slave node is not a good thing. rsync is good for transferring static or closed files, but transfering open files... you could be transmitting files in various inconsistent state. Unless you run rsync every minute... and that may not even help you at all. What can be done is that the two box is sharing the same Disk Array. But only one box can access it at the same time. And maybe add a script to the 2nd box to do the failover and check the disk array by using fuser, df, or mount, etc. before truly mounting the disks on the shared disk array.
