Thanks very much for taking the time for your detailed reply, Stan, but
I'll need more time to study it...

My gut instinct, based on experience and the match, is that a single GbE
inter site MAN link will be plenty, without the need to duplicate server
infrastructure.
I just wanted to point out one thing - I have two primary goals - yes,
one is to maximize performance, but the other is accomplish a level of
*redundancy*...
Also - I already have the servers (I have 3 Poweredge 2970's available
to me, only one of which is currently being used)...
So, the only extra expenses involved will be relatively minor hardware
expenses (multi-port Gb NICs), and some consulting services for making
sure I implement the VM environment (including the routing) correctly.
So, honestly, we'd be incurring most of these expenses anyway, even if
we didn't set up redundant servers, so I figure why not get redundancy
too (now is the time to get the boss to pay for it)...
