IIS Metabase copying:
----------------------
You could write some scripts that will copy ADSI settings, if you felt
ambitious.

You can also export IIS settings to an XML file & import them to another
machine. You may have to do that manually, though.

The easiest solution would probably be to look into the IIS Migration Tool
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=2aefc3e4-ce97-4f25-ace6-127f933a6cd2&displaylang=en

it'll copy all the IIS settings (you can control which settings you want it
to copy, to some extent) from a source machine to a destination machine.

Load Balancing:
----------------
BTW, since you have two servers that you're using for failover purposes, I
strongly recommend looking into a hardware load balancer, or windows network
load balancing. You can configure your servers in active/active, or
active/passive. And if there's a server failure, the failover will happen
automatically. FYI, Windows Network Load Balancing is free for win2003
standard & up. :)
