HA / Distributed Zabbix Monitoring

I am using Zabbix to monitor severall websites using Ping-Checks and HTTP-Service Checks on Port 80. Agent monitoring is not possible due to access rights. My Zabbix server is running on a virtual private server located in Frankfurt, Germany. Everything works fine. My hoster has to do some network hardware updates from time to time which leads to short network outages (~30 minutes) and so monitoring for this period of time is not possible. I planned to look for a seconds VPS at another data center and hosting provider and also started searching for a solution and found something about Zabbix Nodes and Proxys.

Is this the right way to go for me or is it some kind of overpower (its private)? For me it is important to have a ~1 year monitoring history of several websites without outages. I want both zabbix servers to gather monitoring data indepently and get this data merged together in nearly realtime. Maybe there is another solution which also works fine for my requirements? I thought about using a distributed MySQL database with two db nodes or so.

Use active zabbix-agents and active zabbix-proxy! they save a data while connection lost.
