I was looking into the possibility of a load balanced server cluster, but it appears that none of the major trade scripts support clustering. You can however, install scripts on 2 servers and have a load balancer send half the traffic to one box and half to the other, thereby eliminating a single point of failure, ie if one box goes down you're able to continue trading, assuming that neither box was running much over 50% capacity to begin with. The main drawback of this strategy (as far as I can see) is that you have to enter your trade settings twice, ie once for each script.
Also, do not use toplists because they will be different on each (unless you use hard toplists).
