Best scenario for SQL Server 7.0 replication in my situation?

Hi All,

What is the best scenario for seting-up database replication in my
situation?

I have two computers, each computer has...
-W2K, IIS5.0 Web server
-Cold Fusion 4.5 Web Application server
-SQL Server 7.0 database server
-Multihomed IP Addresses using Network Load Balancing

....If one computer goes down for any reason, Network Load Balancing
ensures that the other computer gets all the traffic (Network Load
Balancing is also supposed to split-up traffic between the two
computers, although I have not been able to create this behavior - all
the requests within a session seem to always go to computer #2, unless
it is switched-off, only then will the requests go to computer #1). The
"traffic" is Web requests to our Web site over HTTP and HTTPS.

I want to ensure that each database will "instantly" (or as close to
instantly as possible) take over if the other computer goes down. The
database synchronization needs to be concurrent with minimal latency.
For example, we are linked into Paypal's backend for accepting credit
card payments so we don't want a user to be able to "withdraw money
twice" because of a transaction record not being updated to the other
database.


What are some possible ways of acheiving this?

Thank You,
Nate
