You may want to check out carp(4).

Thanks. Carp is fine, but I still have to figure out how to synchronize data on disks or in the database. Usign just carp would leave me with two separate databases containing only parts of users input. Is there a soulution similar to drbd+heartbeat on Linux? Geom_gate looks nice, but I have no idea if it has been used in a production enviroment.

Just to use exact words, fault toulerancy is not possible with any FreeBSD/Linux O.S. F.T. means outage can occur in every moment, but all current operation will be always completed by other equipments; so there will not be interrupted/lost operations.

The most you can have is HA (High Availability), that means operations currently executed on servers which have outage are interrupted, but new operations will be completed as they will be executed on other equipments.

Carp is fine for HA is you have always both db and file storage always available. For DB you can use MySQL replica, cross-replicating local MySQL data among all servers. Each server will keep its own copy, always up to date with other servers. This will make all DB data always available, except data recorded in the last milliseconds.

About  file storage, you must have an external  reliable  NFS server.
