Load Jenkins into a DR environment

I've been looking all over the internet for a free way to load Jenkins up as an enterprise application. To be more clear, I mean to load Jenkins front end into two or more servers and allow load balancing between them.

Everything I've read is regarding distributed build. While I will also want to do this, make all servers build agents as well, I would like a disaster recovery environment kind of set up for the front end in the event that, say, our connection is down to a data center. Active/Active hosting would be desired, but active/backup would be fine too.

Any materials available to explain how to do this?

I haven't used this solution but it looks like the Gearman Plugin might provide the architecture you're looking for. It looks like the plugin creates a job queue that can be accessed by multiple Jenkins masters and serviced by multiple build agents. Looks like this would support an active/active set up.
