Solr Cloud automatically choose a leader and a follower. I am not a fan of cold standby hosts, because you don’t really know whether they work. You have two hosts, so keep them both hot, put a load balancer in front of them, and send all the traffic to both of them all the time. If one fails, you are still up.
