I guess you will need to sync all the files from master to slave server.
There is one issue - certificates are bound to hostnames, therefore you
should be ready to give it the same hostname in case of failure.
Not sure what is the best practice in this case.

We offload the SSL at an apache load balencer so the backend nodes have no certificates
except for when they act as clients.
The current set up is
2 apaches running mod_proxy that check the SSL component and then hand the requests
back to foreman backends. These two apaches run with same host certificate as the alias name.
Looking now I see we have 6 backend foreman nodes
but this is mainly because we split WEB-UI / ENC and Report requests so that report requests
in particular do not kill the other two more critical functions.
All the backends talk to the same mysql database.

I would like to know if it is possible (I believe it is) to have to foreman
servers installed on the same network, or better how to do it. I would like
to have a backup foreman, for the case of hardware failure. The database
seems to be easy to solve, but what about the certificates, and the files
used to provision servers? Is there any tutorial on how to do that?
