I think a shadow could reside on a NFS share.

But what I can think to be a more robust approach will be replication.

You set-up the server 1 to replicate everything to server 2

Then when connection goes down, your app connects to the second server.

A one way replication like this should be easy to implement.

Maybe others could give other ideas.

see you !
