hi taqqui
as per ur answers as below ***
Yes i have used DRBD with Heartbeat as High Availability solution on Linux AS4 servers for my mail server which enables redundency and realtime mirroring of data(filesystem mounted by drbd) from primary server to hotstandby secondary server .Whenever primary server goes down standby secondary server takes on the serving responsibility borrowing the ip address of the orig.primary sevrer and data replication already done when orig.primary server sync with secondary(standyby) server.
i can help anyone with the config files if someone needs them.

I m also in the same lines as above.I have a linux server 4 with my sql and application sw.Right now its mirrored .But now we are thinking of procuring another server which will be in the same location.And it is also hooked on the internet with a domain name ,and when the primary goes down ... the secondary should borrow the ip from the master....
As u had said u have configured ,,,, is it freeware or do i need to purchase the sw.
kindly help
