Sorry, NFS simply won't work with the model of operation you've described.
There is no way to do fallback to a secondary NFS server if the primary goes
down when using read/write shares, nor does there exist any way to push the
changes made to a secondary fileserver back to the primary, even if you could
convince the clients to fail-over in the first place.
Maybe Samba/CIFS would come closer to what you want, or else WebDAV over HTTP?
