Sounds like a "meeting" - I am Lisa and I am a geek (grin) Thanks for all your comments Justin - they all make sense - the server was configured here, but data was dumped via FTP from Ft Detrick - I don't mean to sound like a dummy (geek) but I am, in essence already trying to rebuild the box on another server as a fail-safe, and figured it I used the 2nd as a mirror I might be better off - after the 1st of the year we are looking into racks, but we are not there yet, and I am trying the CYA route for now...

SQL Server 2000 works with Windows NT and Windows 2000 failover clustering to support immediate failover to a backup server in continuous operation. > Also, I can get a PKI certificate for the 2nd one so that I can use https Yes you can , you can but one cert of both using Thawte, or 2 certs from verisign However whichever you choose the ssl session will be restarted id a session started on one box ends up on the other box... overall: you might want to think about this setup more. You will get better performance using 1 box as a SQL server and the other as your Web/IIS/CF box. 2 boxs * 98.x% uptime might be better than 1 x 99.x% uptime.... Its always a trade off...
