MY web server just died and It's taking some time to get back up . I
want to find a fail over device so when one computer dies another
automatically takes over. of course letting me know this happened would
be a good thing too.

Hello Buck,
I have been using some approaches over the years.
One is a hot/cold failover like carp only I used freevrrpd
(/usr/ports/net/freevrrpd).
The second one is a simple loadbalancer called pen (/usr/ports/net/pen
(http://siag.nu hit the 'More stuff' link).
The third approach would be using dns - providing you run your own dns,
you could do simple round-robin
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Round_robin_DNS).
The easiest one, providing you have a mirror of your web server would
probably be pen.
