How can I instantly mirror data from 1 linux server to another?

I want to have high availability in the event of a hardware failure.
 
What kind of data?
Mysql can do replication to another mysql server.
rsync can be used to keep files sync'd at your favorite interval between two servers.
An NFS server with high hardware availability implemented can make a nice pool for storage.
You can use file systems in linux - of which there are several - that are special purposed to essentially make a P2P-like file system by distributing all sorts of data between trusted hosts.

Getting Coda

Coda is available for ftp from ftp.coda.cs.cmu.edu. You will find RPM packages for Linux as well as tar balls with source. Kernel support for Coda will come with the Linux 2.2 kernels. On the you will find additional resources such as mailing lists, manuals and research papers.
 
No..sounds like bgp, screwy advertising, and a failover nas
attached drive scheme for each server config or something along those lines for more $$.
I worked at a well known provider whose motto was the same
basic thing and it was bad. Outages happen..restores fail,
people promise things they can't deliver. Coda is something
different and I doubt they are using it. Webhosting is a
money game, not a technical game, in as much as it can be avoided, IMHO.
 
I use rsync and it works great. You should look into RSYNC a bit and test it out.
