Shutdown a system by MAC?

Ok here is the problem we have 2 v440 with same IP address running solars 9. one remains on the other remains off. They are both configured exactly the same for redundant purposes for the software we use. This was the best/worst idea. Great because down time is only a mere minutes. The bad is the site tends to turn on both of them at the same time causing problems for the clients. We now have a way to check the port they are plugged into from the switch and send us an email if the secondary comes online. Now is there a way to shutdown the secondary via MAC address instead of IP since they both share the same IP?

HYLAFAX-SHUTDOWN(5F)													      HYLAFAX-SHUTDOWN(5F)

NAME

       etc/shutdown - server shutdown control file

DESCRIPTION

       If the file etc/shutdown is present it describes when a HylaFAX server is to be shutdown and may contain a descriptive message to return to
       clients explaining the reason for the shutdown.	This file is used by the hfaxd(8C) program.

       The file has the following format:

	      <year> <month> <day> <hour> <minute> <deny> <disconnect>
	      <shutdown message text>

       The first line defines the date and time the server should be shutdown and the time preceding  at  which  unprivileged  clients	should	be
       denied  service or disconnected; these fields are described in more detail below.  Any lines that follow the first are taken as the text of
       a message to return to clients when notifying them of a scheduled shutdown or when denying them service.

       <year>	 The decimal year; e.g. 1996.

       <month>	 The decimal month; e.g. 10 for October.

       <day>	 The decimal day of the month in the range [1..31].

       <hour>	 The decimal hour since midnight; in the range [0..23].

       <minute>  The decimal minute after the hour; in the range [0..59].

       <deny>	 The time prior to the shutdown time at which to deny service to unprivileged clients.	This value is specified as decimal  number
		 in the form HHMM; e.g.  130 for 1 hour and 30 minutes.

       <disconnect>
		 Time time prior to the shutdown time at which to disconnect unprivileged clients that are logged in to the server.  This value is
		 specified as a decimal number in the form HHMM.

NOTES

       This file is typically created using the ``SHUT'' command supported by hfaxd(8C).
