Oh, i get it.
Yes, this looks like be the better alternative.

A virtual IP.

Server1 has IP1
Server2 has IP2
And the IP3 is floating.

It is assigned to server that is primary in that time.
When server1 goes down for any reason, IP3 goes to server2 automatically.

I already this situation working, but your suggestion is good too.


thanks,
