does any one know hoew to setup its failover server. we would like to setup an its failover. our w- gate server keeps shutting down unexpectedly. so we want to redirect it to a failover automatically when ever a shut down occurs. Appreciate any ideas.

Hi Mike
There are two ways to load balance and provide ITS W-Gate failover. Both of them rather expensive...
1. NT Cluster (2 servers and W2K Advance server)
2. HTML Router (Switch and up to 8 machines)
There are no other ways, we tried this a million ways - A-gates are automatic so that is easy, W-Gates aren't. We went for a cold stand-by, which is just a restored machine, same name, ip-add etc, but it's cold so not automatic.
thanks chris. appreciate your help
