Then use RAID 1, mirroring, and mirror in hardware, not the OS.
That's an easy solution.

You're sure about that??

So you use the domain feature to get "roaming" between the 3 boxes,
ok. But do you know you're "supposed" to buy a CAL for every NT
auntenticated user, I think? What's 40K or 200K CAL's cost?
>The Raidbox is storing the Imail directory and websites.
Mailbox users contending with web visitors for single disk channel
access. It'll work if there are few of either group.
Three clustered servers is a lot of firepower for mail, even web
mail. Do you have 200K users? What's your msg traffic in number and volume?
