Mirror Moodle Site for fault tolerance? any version 3.1, 3.2 etc

Can anyone offer practical advice for mirroring a moodle site to two separate servers? I curently back up my site daily to Amazon AWS but it would be ideal to have two live sites of mirrored content (one, in case something happens to the primary server I can switch the DNS to the second) (I have had issues in the past with attacks on a site and having something running elsewhere would be nice)

I am wondering if there is a hosting service or other way? Clearly there are some massive moodle sites out there that have a level of fault tolerance that keeps them running (even when things go wrong) so what are these strategies? Thanks

Qualifications for this response ... none ... but, since, am not at all sure that anyone that did have first hand experience would be here in these forums ...
