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?

Thanks!
