Setting up a redundant web server

Asked by bhermer in Microsoft IIS Web Server, ISPs & Web Hosting, Windows 2003 Server

Tags: redundant, server, web

Hi,

I run a web hosting business, a small one! I currently have two websevers running, both with different ISP's they are NS1 and NS2, both running Win 2003 standard editinon

NS1 is a primary DNS server, and IIS server, and NS2 is a secondary DNS recieving DNS from the primary using zone transfers

What I am looking for is a solution that will enable me to put some redundancy into the system. I need another web server to pick up traffic if one of the servers goes down (maybe another two, I dont know.)

I am happy to hire another server to provide this, but how would I go about setting it up?

I had thought to hire a server to simply handle DNS and if the IIS server went down, is it possible for the DNS server to know this and direct traffice to the second IIS server?  

Any help or advice would be appreciated
