We did something similar with web servers using the same external IP address. The stand-by repeatedly tried to ping the primary. We assumed that the only reason that the ping would not work is when the primary was down. If the stand-by could not reach the primary, it would simply start the interface with the external IP address and would be available within 5 minutes of the primary going down. Although this is very primitive, it is the same basic principle that Sun HA clusters use. Hope that helps.
