We'd like to have a highly available NFS server using heartbeat /without/ DRBD.  We've used DRBD in the past, and for this situation, it's just not the best solution.

We have two machines, one mirroring the other with the occasional rsync.  If the main server goes down, we'd like to have heartbeat failover to the slave.  The data does not need to be exact on the slave.... if it's a day or two behind, it won't really matter - it just needs to be up.

What is the best way of going about this?  What documentation would be best to read?
