"fos" setup

I am trying to setup "fos" using 2 machines - node 1 amd 2. What I am 
looking for is
for one of the machines to take over if the other one fails. Does the 
following make
configuration make sense ( both machines have the same configuration):

++++++++++++++++++++++++/etc/sysconfig/ha/lvs.cf++++++++++++++++++++++++
serial_no = 15
primary = node_1_IP
service = fos
backup_active = 1
backup = node_2_IP
heartbeat = 1
heartbeat_port = 539
keepalive = 6
deadtime = 18
network = direct
reservation_conflict_action = preempt
debug_level = NONE
failover vsof1 {
    address = node_2_IP  eth0:4
    vip_nmask = 255.255.255.0
    active = 1
    port = 80
    timeout = 6
    send = "GET / HTTP/1.0\r\n\r\n"
    expect = "HTTP"
    start_cmd = "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd start"
    stop_cmd = "/etc/rc.d/init.d/httpd stop"
}
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

The reason I ask : I keep getting the message
