Ok,

Since i have 2 connections and 2 servers on each i used a simple but 
efficient solution.

I did set up heartbeat and openswan on each server just having heartbeat 
start & stop a custom script in case of a failure.

A better solution would probably to move to openvpn which integrates 
such a failover thing.
