Assuming these are linux servers, you can do VRRP for ip failover in a
master slave (active-standby) configuration. However, I suspect this
alone may not be enough. What is your application? Web based? Suspect
it is as you are talking of DNS. Can you drop sessions?

For web based applications, it would be better to use a load balancer
(like nginX) which will maintain sessions and will talk to servers
behind it configured in a active-standby configuration.
