I'm not sure what tooooo expensive amounts to, but we use a hardware based
load balancing system (Big IP www.bigip.com) that works very well for the
web servers (a farm of three, with central data storage). For our SQL
Servers, we also use a central data server for the DB's with the load
between 2 servers. For failover of both systems, we have backup file
servers for the data.

as needed - just looking for suggestions on which systems actualy work.
looking into cluster cats, MSCS, NSI and anything else that may do the trick
hopefully easy and not tooooo expensive
