Is there a reason not to keep it on, on-line, and the interfaces configured
with a different IP address?

We used to do this in the Linux world a lot with scripts to check for the
other server and automatically aquire the main IP if the primary server was
unresponsive and similar scripts on the primary machine so that when it
resumed operation it wouldn't run over the backup.
