sql server dts:
Which would you recommend to setup as a failover database server? (We do not
have the ability right now to setup a sql cluster). What is the difference
between log shipping and database replication? Pros/Cons? Thanks.

It depends on a lot of things. You can get started with the
high availability options discussed in this chapter in the
Resource Kit:
Chapter 15 - High Availability Options
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/prodtechnol/sql/2000/reskit/part1/c0161.mspx

There is also some information in the following KB article:
Disaster recovery options for Microsoft SQL Server

Neither log shipping nor replication supports automatic failover. If
failover is a concert to you, and you cannot implement a cluster, I would
strongly suggest that you have a look on the database mirroring feature of
SQL Server 2005.
