Help on mirror server hosting..?

We’ve been asked to offer a technical proposal for a new established TV station, and the IT manager of the station has a long list of requirements, we covered it all, only one issues lift as we never done it before: They want about 20-60 GB server for hosting and they want to have a mirror server, incase the 1st server was down, so it would redirect the visitors to the mirror server, I'm thinking of getting them a dedicated or semi-dedicated server, but how do you do the mirror issue. Some one said to get two dedicated servers, but: 1. How we make it that when one is down, it automatically directed to the other. 2. Should they be from two different companies and to different countries? 3. The web site will be with CMS and DB, how do you make sure that the mirror server have all the new data that was updated in the 1st server’s DB, do they have like shared DB or something, and how.. P.S. We use PHP/ MySql technology. I'm not lazy, we've already been googling the net since we received they're requirements, but we only have 3 days max to post the proposal, so I really need all the help I can get..
