Backup Client?

I have a project with 3 active quad players all doing different things and 1 spare quad player.
What I'm hoping to achieve is the ability to 'switch in' the spare to replace any of the others at will in the event of a failure.
I can achieve the routing of the outputs to the appropriate projectors via video matrix.
Am I right in assuming (as long as the content is all loaded in identical locations, etc) that if I change the IP of the site to match the spare machine it will then assume the place of the previous player?
If so, is there any way I can automated that, say with a WD Command?
If that's not possible, what are other peoples ideas for having a redundant machine that can take the place of any other in the system?
Cheers
