| I have an IIS server which serves several ASP applications. As the server
becomes more utilized by users there is less time where I can take down the
server for maintenance. Is there a way I can setup a second server to work
as a failover IIS server?

| NLB is a good solution aleternative you could have 2nd server built with you site and ammened your site DNS entry to resolve to to new server at a specified time when you like to do maintance etc, but NLB the best RRDNS is a bit redimentry. you could als
o t ake a look at Application centre.

Norm,
Application Centre is designed to support this scenario.

| Nice... but here's the setup I've been working in the past.
Web - NLB - Windows Server
Com+ - CLB - Application Center
Data - Clustering - Windows Clustering Services
much cost effective...... however for remote site disaster recovery, I have
yet to really mirror entire set REAL time.

The only problem with that approach is that DNS updates can take up to
24 hours or even longer to propogate globally. So in that time people
would still be getting pointed to the 'old' server or site, etc.
Updating DNS records as a means of providing fault tolerance is a
total non-starter.
