You basically want a high availability solution. CloudBees sells that as part of Jenkins Enterprise (www.cloudbees.com/jenkins-enterprise-by-cloudbees-overview.cb). It's called the high availability plugin, and it's only for paying customers. I have never tried it, but have been eyeing Jenkins Enterprise for some time now.

Our only Jenkins as 3 slaves. We like to install another Jenkins acting as secondary master for the 3 slaves nodes in case the primary master Jenkins goes down. Will this configuration work ? Can multiple Jenkins work together ? How do we configure secondary Jenkins such that when primary Jenkins goes down, it takes over ? How would the slaves know that the secondary Jenkins is in service and not the primary Jenkins.
