NOTE: This suggestion is for Confluence Server. Using Confluence Cloud? See the corresponding suggestion.
Some organisations require the option to switch all mission-critical applications to an offsite backup in the event that the primary instance goes down. Please document the basics of setting this up:
1. Install Confluence to a backup server using a development key that is not running
2. Setup a load balancer front end that can test if Confluence is responsive on the primary and backup servers
3. Setup a database backup system that transfers the database contents to the backup server database, eg nightly or hourly
4. Setup a script so that the load balancer will start the backup instance, stop the periodic database transfers and redirect requests in the event that the primary goes down
If there's a better method then we should document that instead.

Great Suggestion,
1) HA is needed in many organizations for production purposes.
I'm not talking only about Load-balancing but a real HA.
The need for system which would shutdown unresponsive application (What would be your implementation for monitoring?)
and start another instance on another server automatically.
2) The perfect solution would be to run 2 instances simultaneously for load balancing and HA (so we could use hardware Load balancer, for example).
But my understanding that your current caching technique won't allow this.
