As in RRDNS? RRDNS does not detect server availability and would result in
~50% of traffic going to secondary server?
Unless I have missunderstood what you are suggesting?

Data: rsync
Sessions: If there happens to be a session to primary server and it goes down,
a new session will be created to secondary server (It is a fairly simplistic
website..no SSL, no credit card transactions etc etc)
