There are two things to that:

1. to Ensure both server have same live streams replications.. ( though it depends what is your major use case.. live or Vod)

2. to loadbalance ..

FMS inherently provides functionality to replicate live streams on different servers, so that they can be served from any server.. For that, you may check-out livecast or dvr cast applications on FMS Tools.

For loadbalance, you generally use any load balancer and configure it to direct requrest on any of the two FMS servers, depending upon any roundrobin logic..

And if you want to do it from FMS itself, you may write Access plug-in on one FMS server to redirect the connection to another FMS server, if that one is overloaded. Though access plug-ins are generally not used for load balancing purposes, but can serve the partial purpose.
