Redundant Nagios setups...

[Mark Gius]

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.
