Author BizTalk Site Failover Recommendation(s). (Site Disaster Recovery)

Ok, never dealt with this before and was wondering on recommendations. The
primary site has a clustered BizTalk implementation, normal to what you would
expect. Clustered SQL/ENTSSO and multiple BizTalk servers, pretty vanilla.
I am now about to configure the BizTalk farm off site in the failover site
for disaster recovery only. Any recommendations with configuration and setup
for site failover? Replication between SQL servers? Obviously, we can
deploy the assemblies to the failover machine etc. Was just thinking weather
to configure replication for mgmt DB and the msgbox DB? Obviously we cannot
deploy assemblies typically or the message box references to orchs etc would
have different GUIDs and/or identities within the DB on the other side.

Probably just going to go with hot swabable config.. Anyone have any fancy
solutions?
