Hello,

I would highly recommend taking a look at the documentation available
on the Wiki, especially the user-contributed tutorials, as this will
give you an excellent overall picture of the various choices and
configurations available.

I wrote a tutorial on how to set up a 2-server AFR HA setup which you
might find particularly interesting :

Good luck !
