Matt, can you elaborate a bit? "Configure your two servers in a cluster" how: RAC, FailSafe (these are Windoze servers, unfortunately)?
"Third mirror" implies the two nodes share a disk cluster in which all active drives consist of three mirrored copies; when the third mirror is split off, the two nodes continue to run against two mirrored copies, correct?
