Backup or redundant Jamf System

My current setup.
- JamfAdmin / API connection so webapp access.
- JamfConnect connection this is the system all my clients connect to.
- JamfDB connection, this is the system running MySQL for the whole environment.

I am wanting to run a backup JamfDB connection and JamfConnect connection servers so if ether the DB or connection system go down I will not have any downtime. I know how to do it with my JamfPro endpoint connections. But I do not know if I can do this with the DB. I can set up MySQL to run a cluster and run the JamfPro system on the master. But this doesn't protect against downtime. Anybody have this type of setup and willing to share ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Well, you probably don't want a second JSS running all the time with the same database (nor do I think it's possible, really), but you could have a database that's synced in real-time via MySQL replication and then just fire up the backup JSS server(s) using the synced DB if the first one goes down.
