Round robin DNS is cheap and easy, but there are limitations to its usefulness.
Round robin DNS does not give you fault tolerance, only load balancing. In round
robin DNS, if one server in your two server cluster is down, half of your requests
will go unanswered.

The cheapest way to do this would be setting up a round robin dns system,
and then using win2k's File Replication Service.

A step up for replication would be Microsoft's new Application Server 2000,
which I must say is tres' slick.

Win2k Advanced Server also offers load balancing which is not as easy as a
round robin system, but is probably more efficient, at least that is what MS
says ;-) I've done both, and not had a problem with either.
