oh, duh!
the "simple" and general method of realserver failover is duplicating
the servers: the director sends a copy of every incoming packet to each
of the server but picks the response from only one of them and sends
back to the client. this should handle many protocols (but not FTP or
protocols using challenges for authentication) without any changes on
the real server. this rules out DR, of course.
