I'd take a look at drbd (www.drbd.org) while you're reading on heartbeat. I use it for web servers, but I'm not sure if it would be suitable for file servers.
No good. drbd needs a lot of reliable bandwidth. Loosing sync between two online servers that use drbd is a reciepe for misery.
I would suggest AFS (Andrew Filesystem) for that. I know there is an open implementation of that these days, tho I never used. I had some experience with it (the old commercial version) running on AIX. We were able to keep filesystems in sync over a 19.2K link.
