My train of thought often leaves folks at the station (sometimes me along with them), so don't sweat it... ;-) What I was referring to is that for any redundancy solution to be truly effective, it shouldn't reside on the servers it's meant to redun. load balancing switches exist and Foundry, Cisco, 3Com are but a few of them . I've used Foundry devices and was well pleased with their performance and configuration methodology.

Our ISA server is acting as our NAT, dns, dhcp and firewall. At this point in our network creation I am a bit worried about it going down. So I am worried about the server.
