ANSWER:

I am looking in to something similar for my AWS based production envt, I think that using heartbeat can be a good solution in your case. I plan to use heartbeat between two of my HAProxy servers and if one goes down I plan to assign the Elastic IP to the machine which becomes my main server now. I would suggest looking in to hearbeat and here is another link which I found useful for this scenario:
