Typically you would install a system such as BigIP or other IP routing packages. The request would go to that server and it handles distributing to your actual servers. This way when one server goes down it is still routing to the other server.

Assuming that you are building your own server you can have a look at http://www.corosync.org/doku.php[^] and http://www.clusterlabs.org/[^]

I have 2 questions sir,
(1) How can I develop myself as a young developer.
(2) I really want to write an application (c#) that can synchronise beteween two database server in a form of failover cluster.
I want to make it as my undergraduate project.

(1) Look at how other people write code that actually works - look at large projects with a decent history, meaning year, of successful use. Pay attention to everything in the ComponentModel namespace.

(2) look at Apache qpid, it's not written in c# but it can teach you a lot :-D
