IIS Failover and Windows 2000

I am working with 2 servers configured identically, with identical file structures. One is called PROD1 (our production IIS box) and the other is called BAK1 (our backup production IIS box). Both are running Windows 2000 Server. I would like to setup some sort of automatic failover/failback, but all the information I've found suggests only Windows 2000 Advanced Server has failover/failback capability using clustering. Is this in fact the case?... and if so is there any workaround for Windows 2000 Server? Both boxes have 2 NICs, and only one is for inbound/outbound communications. I was hoping the extra NIC could be configured with some sort of RILO functionality to provide failover... please advise!!!

If the primary box fails, give the machines each others' names.
