I will describe the client's wishes.
In order to provide as much uptime as possible with fail-over capability.
A Web server with a multiple online accounting system. It will have user
registration, and personal file/photo upload and storage capability It will
also be connected to a SQL2k database server.
What they want to do is to mirror a copy of this server to an adjacent machine,
so that in the event of a failure, all they will have to do is to switch the IP
numbers and the backup machine will take up where the original left off,
however, they will expect that all uploaded files, user accounts, etc. to
already be in place. I think this will require duplication of the Windows
registry, or at least portions of it to be replicated (mirrored) as well.
The OS will be Win2003 Enterprise, with CF 6.1 professional, and SQL2k database.
Will this require a third machine to be set up as a domain controller, or
something like that to preserve the user accounts?
This application (Web site) will be very mission critical, and is a little
beyond my experience at the moment.
They will also be setting up a triple redundancy Internet backbone connection
for connectivity protection. This will be separate from the server setup.
Does anyone have pointers, gotchas, or directions on where to look for the
appropriate setup?
Thanks much!
