I have the hardware to build this redundant system.   I have an idea of
what technologies to use.   I just want to see if anyone had any pros or
cons for one technology or another..

Wes, do you run any clusters?

Shouldn't you have answered those questions before you spent all the
money?

A lot of money spent just for file and print.  

First question to ask.

Can one of the servers handle all the load?  If, yes I would think
active-passive clustering would be best.

I am searching for some suggestions about building a redundant system. I
have already purchased a Compaq SAN (MA6000) and two servers (DL580)
to attach to this SAN.   My objective is to build file and print system
that will have some fail over between the two systems.

On these servers I will be running Windows 2000 Advanced OS.   

I guess my question here what is the best method to use.

Should I go with an active-active with load balancing cluster?  Or with
DFS?
Or will this be a combination of both?
