For imaging, use kickstart (which is awesome beyond words) or, if you have lots of custom stuff installed, tar. Boot off CD, mount an NFS share, and tar / to it. Repeat in reverse for the target system. For simple failover, Linux-HA would probably be an easier (and cheaper) setup than GFS + Cluster Suite. You could also use Lustre as an alternative to GFS, if low cost is more important that enterprise support.
