Can't help you with the mirroring but if you might want to checkout 
Coyotepoints free version of their Equalizer product for loadbalancing. 

I've used the expensive rackmounted variety which has lots of bells and 
whistles but with the free version all you got to do is load freeBSD and 
freequalizer onto a spare server and you have quality loadbalancing and 
failover.. 

you can grab it from ftp.coyotepoint.com i'm sure theres lots of 
documentation there as well
