I have multilple web servers running classic asp and
asp.net applications that all connect to a single MS
SQL2000 database server with multiple databases via SQL db
connection strings defined their global.asa or web.config
files.

If I need to restart the SQL server or take it offline for
maintenance all the web applications fail because they do
not have access to their data.

I am familiar with SQL replication but do not know if
there is a way to automatically have the web applications
switch from one SQL Server to another if the primary
server is offline.

Any insight or help would be greatly appreciated.

Mike
