1 domain, 2 servers .... possible ?

Hi,

I have setup two servers, we offer network 100% uptime gurantee, but when it comes to maintenance, backup, unexpected error etc, we want to make sure the site is always up.

Server 1 : DualP3 1ghz, 512MB RAM, 7 Accounts - Running PLESK
Server 2 : AMD XP1700, 1GIG RAM, 1 Account - Running PLESK

Basically at the moment my site is running on server 1 along with some friends sites .....

What i want to do is make Server 2 my main site server, but also have an identical account on the Server 1.

So if server 2 goes down for maintenance, backup etc... Server 1 takes over ....

Is this possible with Nameservers i.e.

Server 1 = pri.server1.com & sec.server2.com
Server 2 = pri.server2.com & sec.server1.com

Is this possible, so if server 2 goes down, server 1 carrys on serving the sites......

Is there any other method.... I know theres load balancing, but i dont need that....

Kind Regards
Shazad
