There should be some way to detect the the primary is still up or is it down?
Your secondary server should come up once the primary is down. And the connection with the clients need to be handled now by the secondary(actin g primary).

When primary is up(acting secondary) you need to start checking whether secondary(actin g primary) is up or down.

Basically high Availability. Also if you use database, you need to take care of periodic replication of data between servers. :)
