• With those servers and thinking DR and switchover, clustering will work, but it requires hardware to make work. I'm not sure if you could do a 6 node cluster, either.

    I might suggest that you consider upgrading to SQL 2005 or 2008 and using Database Mirroing instead, which would give you automatic failover. If you don't want to upgrade, or can't, then log shipping might be your best choice.
