I'll be in South America for 2 months with only seldom Internet Access.
They know their NT desktops, but not their servers.
So I want a solution, where they can't do too much wrong and I don't

I'm now trying heartbeat and drbd as supposed by Nicolas Bouthors.
On the other hand, in the past 3 years, we had only one hardware failure
(overheated cpu, due to damaged fan), and it's only 2 months...
Perhaps I should leave everything as it is. ;-)
