Where can I discuss how to make our network more redundant.  Things like
we have many clients who are constantly trying to get info from a port
on one ip address.  Should that machine go down it'd be a problem.  It'd
be nice if something here could send that traffic to another machine in
that case.  As the clients are not written by us it is impossible to
tell them of a backup ip address to use if they don't get their primary
connection.

Other issues include a sequel server that is vital to our business now
and if it went down.....   So how do we make a live duplicate?

Can anyone direct me to a forum where this can be discussed?

Hi Cj,

Thank you for posting.

As for the scenario you mentioned, you do not want to make such
failover/redirecting task visible to your client application's code logic,
I'm afraid this would be reasonable to done at underlying operating system
layer. As far as I known, the windows server(2000 or 2003) both provide
failover/clustering and load balancing components . I suggest you try
posting in some windows platform specific newsgroups such as:

microsoft.public.windows.server.clustering

Hope this helps.
