Peter - Since nobody seems to be answering your question, I guess you get
the second tier here. I have not used Oracle Replication, but I have studied
it some. The first thing I seem to always hear about Oracle's Replication is
that you must be careful or it won't be able to keep up. The other thing
they point out is that the application must be designed for replication, but
I'm not sure this applies in the failover application you describe. But it
could get messy since you must configure replication on each of your tables.
I know that the Replication advocates mention how it can be used for a
standby database, and if you had an offsite disaster recovery site, I would
say Replication would be worth a look.
What you are proposing sounds a lot like Oracle9i's new Real
Application Clusters (RAC), or Oracle's Standby database. Another idea if
you insist on replication would be to look at Quest's SharePlex.
In the worst case, maybe my reply will encourage someone with
replication experience to reply.

We are looking at Advanced Replication as a fail over
option for a web site. Straight forward installation,
both boxes on the same subnet on their own dmz. The
servers will be located on the same rack in the
computer room. Very few tables storing data from an
application that is tracking click through data.
Does anyone see any flaws with the basic plan? Any
hidden 'features' that we may run into?
Thanks
