Clustering .NET servers?

[billym]

Does anyone know a good source for information on how to
create .NET fault-tolerent server clusters or if it is
even possible?

Better yet, does anyone have any experience doing this?

(I prefer to load balance them rather than have a hot
standby, if possible)

I'm not a 'servers' type person but one thing that might
help point you in the right direction (assuming nyou're
talking ASP.NET apps) is:
Set-up a shared 'state server' using SQL server - SQL
scripts provided with ASP.NET for this. Then point all
your ASP.NET apps on all your IIS servers to this state
server - this way they'll all use the same state
information and it won't matter which server, serves the
pages to the user. I haven't actually tried this but it
was part of the ASP.NET MCP exam...

Hope This Helps
