I assume you're talking about the realservers here.
This isn't the way we do it. We'd have all machines up and 
if one fails (or you bring it down for maintenance), then 
the machine is removed from the available pool. You don't 
have machines on standby - they're using the same amount of 
rackspace, power, lifetime on the disk(s) as a machine 
that's doing useful work.
