Anyone know of any documentations, or some ways I can put a couple server together and if I take one server down, the other one takes over, and vise versa.

Thank you.
:D

You can purchase a load balancer which will automatically split the load amongst two or more servers, if you want to do it right. A cheaper way would be to get two boxes, setting one of them as the primary nameserver and the other as the secondary. On each server, edit the nameserver zone files so the domain points to the server that copy of BIND is running on. Of course, some ISPs will probably be caching the primary IP if you go that route, but it should still be accessible to most others. :D

IMHO, linux virtual server, 4+ machines, 2 directors, 2+ servers... and theres no such thing as no downtime, its like unlimited bandwidth :)
