Mirroring Two PC's

I am running windows 2000 advanced server as a web server. In the PC I have a RAID controller mirroring two drives. I hot swap one of the drives each night with a fresh drive and firebox the swapped out drive. That serves as my backup system.

Now I need to duplicate that server, RAID hardware and all, and have it kick in if the main server has a hardware failure such as a motherboard etc.

I can do this with a second IP for the duplicate server and set A records pointing to it in my DNS records.

But, and here is my question, how do I RAID the two PC's together so that the secondary PC always has the same info on it's drives as the the primary PC?

Thanks for any insight...
 
Although I post a bit in the Win2k Server forum, I don't know the answer to this one. Try the Win2k Server forum - This is the 2000 Pro forum.

Good Luck,

Steve.
