   I already have backups on the MX and web servers, however those do 
me no good when the main users server goes down.  THAT's the one I need 
to figure out how to build a redundant setup for.  Users can't get to 
their accounts/files/e-mail if that main server goes down.  I don't know 
if there's any way of building some kind of quiet failover system that 
would allow users to continue using their shell and get to their files 
and e-mail when one server goes down (and the other takes up the 
slack.)  Somehow when the main server comes back up some things would 
have to switch back and all of that.
