Hey All -

Running a network of about 30 OS 9 clients, 2 Windows Clients, 2 OS X clients, and 2 OS X servers (1 currently) and need a little help getting things running smoothly in the office.

My users are often disconnected from the server, and I am looking for a way to seamlessly allow them to continue working without going offline.

Is there a way to set up a second server as a fail over box in case anything happens to the main server?

I would like to have the main OS X server, set up as the NetInfo parent handle users/MacMgr/dhcp/AFP/Windows/NFS

The second machine would help with user authentication, act as a file server, and in the event that the main server crashes out, or kicks users off would also be a backup of the main server.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks -
