Active/Passive netview systems for paging/email.

I have 2 Win2K Netview boxes in my environment. Traps from my routers get
sent to both systems and I get pages/email from both systems. 

I would like to set them up in a Active/Passive role so that only one
system does the email/paging. The other just monitors the Active node
and in the event the Active node dies or the NV processes hang then it
promotes itself to Active and handles the email/paging.

Anyone have any scripts or suggestions on how I could do this?

thanks,
