Fault tolerance



I have client applications sending messages via TCP to a server application
running on a remote machine. I want to have a second remote machine running
the same server app so that if the first machine is unavailable then clients
can use the second machine. Is there any technology that handles this
seamlessly without the client app having to explicitly change to the second
machine? Does clustering do what I need? Does the technology work for all
IP traffic?
