Application Center In Disaster Recovery Scenerio

I was wondering if there was anyone out there using Application Center's
features in an offsite / disaster scenario. At the moment, we have a 3
Server AC cluster - which is a beautiful thing.

What I was wondering is what steps would you follow to have a 4th server,
offsite - different subnet and all that - have the same content. I figure I
may be able to do a scripted deployment or something periodcally, but I was
wondering if I could actually have this server be part of the cluster, but
not set as offline - so Synchs happen, but it doesn't serve we pages. In
the event the worst happens, I make it the controller, and bring it's Load
balencing function online.

Any thoughts, issues, comments? Anyone out there doing anything like this?

Thanks!
