Hi Lon ..thanks a million for your prompt reply. At the moment I'm still waiting for the midrange systems to arrive at the premises. Therefore Im trying to visualize the fact that before doing the actual thingee on the midrange systems can I run the active/active or active/passive configurations on 2 simple intel based pc's with their regular hard-drives. 
Mind you there's no SAN involved just simple intel based regular pc's talking to each other via ethernet and that it. Hope I clearified myself if not let me know. 
 
Cheers:    Munir

Hi Munir,

You can use Cluster Manager with only two members, but I'm not sure what
you meant by "Actual Clustering" on the midrange systems. Did you mean
something like this?

(Warning: this won't look correct unless you're using a monospace font)

--> LVS --> realServer 0 (Cluster Manager) --> SAN Array A
+-> realServer 1 (Cluster Manager) --> SAN Array A
+-> realServer 2
+-> realServer 3
+-> realServer 4

This should work, but I've never personally tried it.
