We use two identically configured servers with a shared DRBD
(<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.drbd.org/">http://www.drbd.org/</a>) partition that contains the nagios
state/log/config files, Linux Heartbeat (<a class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="http://www.linux-ha.org/">http://www.linux-ha.org/</a>), 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.<br>
<br>
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.<br>
