What platform is this on? What hardware? What O/S?
Generally, you run some cluster/DR suite of software that manages failover. In those situations you might have node A and node B clustered. Node A is the production box and node B the DR box.
Both node A & B would have their "hardwired - never to change" IP addresses and the cluster suite presents a pseudo ip address to all clients. The clients only ever access this pseudo ip address (and don't know about the real ip addresses). When failover occurs the suite moves the pseudo ip address to the other node and the clients are none the wiser (apart from perhaps a few seconds hang).
So the question is; what have you got there?

load(8) System Manager's Manual load(8)
Name
load - down-line load software to a target node
Syntax
/etc/load [ node ]
Description
The command loads software to an unattended target node. The target node is loaded by the host that executes the command.
The command requires the identification of the service circuit over which the load is performed, the Ethernet hardware address of the tar-
get node, and the service password needed to gain access to the target. This information is included in the nodes database entry for the
target node. A node entry is defined with the command. For further information, see The node is the name or address of the target node.
A node name consists of from one to six alphanumeric characters. For single networks, a node address consists of a decimal integer
(1-1023). For multiple networks, a node address consist of two decimal integers (n.n), where the first indicates the network number
(1-63), and the second indicates the node address (1-1023).
Options
-p Uses the specified service and password (next arguments) in accessing the target node. You can omit a target node's service and pass-
word from the nodes database for security reasons, but you must then specify the service and password in the command line by using the
option.
Examples
# /etc/load bangor -p 130fe
This command causes node to be loaded by the ULTRIX host node executing the command. The ULTRIX host uses the load files specified in the
nodes database entry for node to perform the load.
