This guide will walk you through configuring a setup that will watch your droplets and if one becomes unreachable it will failover connections to the other. It should fit your requirements.

How To Set Up Highly Available Web Servers with Keepalived and Floating IPs on Ubuntu 14.04
by Justin Ellingwood
Keepalived is a service that can monitor servers or processes in order to implement high availability on your infrastructure.

The secondary server will take over the web traffic if the primary server experiences issues by automatically claiming ownership of a shared Floating IP address using the DigitalOcean API.
