Xen on it's own isn't really relevant to you, it doesn't do what you 
are asking for - but it can be *part* of a setup. What you are 
talking about is a HA (High Availability) setup and I'm sure there 
will be people along fairly soon to point you in the right direction 
as there are few people on here involved in that sort of thing.
