If it *has* to run fulltime, no exceptions, I'd stick w/ 4.2. I'm running
rh5 for our house network w/ no problems, but other have reported some
everyonce in a while. When 5.1 or maybe 5.2 comes out you could use that.

I don't do much in this area, but mirroring would be very easy. How you
would set things up as a "fail safe-failover" type of thing I'm not sure,
but it is very possible (deja news runs their site and news servers on
linux fwiw).
