KeyKo is on a distinguished road
Active-active configuration provides two servers that both share tasks and load. The way they share load is by using one server for one type of task and another server for another type of task, for example email is received and processed on one and web pages are served on another one.
Active-passive configuration is simpler: one server is working, another one is in stand-by mode.
That's GlobalTap.com provides for their customers.
