What we do is:

Have all the data of asterisk on a NFS share.
2 machines in master/slave setup with a heartbeat between
them. If master goes down, slave mounts the nfs, takes over
ip and starts asterisk.

Running calls will get disconnected, but the rest will
continue to work.
That's enough for us.
