Router Question

Is it possible to configure a router so it's hooked to two servers and have
it either:

1. Send requests to one server unless that one doesn't respond, and then
automatically switch over?

Is this possible for all routers currently used by the top hosting
services?

2. Send requests to two (or more) servers at once? i.e. duplicate the
requests and send to all connected servers?


I want something like this:


Router

Server 1 Server 2

You can do somethingl ike this Windows 2000 Advanced Server and NLB (or any
edition of Windows Server 2003).
