This means having a third machine.
If its OK with you you can indeed use hoststated (with 2 tables
containing 1 host each):
table slave {
check ...
host $slavehost
}
table master {
check ...
host $masterhost
}
service http {
virtual ip ...
table master
backup table slave
}
Otherwise you can also use sysutils/monit to monitor your HTTP server
and increase the demote counter in case of HTTP failure. Which would
seem simpler and more to the point in your scenario (and you keep only
two machines).
