Saqib, your question is a bit strage, you want to have active/passive, but 
some clients shall connect to the passive server? I would name this 
active/active. I wouldn't want to do active/active with NFS, nfs is simply 
not designed for that purpose (besides that I have no idea how to set this 
up).

Let me clarify, in normal mode the active server is supporting all NFS client
requests while the passive server is supportng a real-time 'live' copy of 
file system of the active server. In case of failure of the active server,
the passive server transparently comes on-line to support all NFS
client requests, is this possible with DRBD?
