2 servers for each database with replication

4 servers for both databases with replication

I've gotten different opinions and want to see what GFY techies think.

Thanks!
1 server with a scsi raid-5 array
Hotswap drives
Dual power inputs
Make sure the card supports on-the-fly reconstruction of the array
multiple nic cards

set up a couple of web servers using DNS Round robin and you're good to go
