Lizz - Given the amount of effort you are going to invest in this, I would seriously study the features in 9i Data Guard (new Standby name) and ask if there was any way that I could invest that effort in 9i. Many sites feel that the switchover to standby is so cumbersome in 8i (you must rebuild the other site), that in fact they only switch as a last resort. With 9i you can switch back and forth easily.
