Bert - in answer to your question about fail-over clustering, the rack-rate quote I got for SQL Server Enterprise & cals was ~ 11K per server. I did ask if the second machine is running shadow/standby could you just buy enough s/w for one server, but that is still a boat-load of money.

Just for the purposes of documenting the pricing, I'll update this when if I hear back from the rep.
