Company is finally listening to me and planning to purchase some servers for redundancy purposes.
most of it is straight forward, but one server that is causing me a few issues is the replication distribution server.
Is clustering enough for this server, or would a (windows) cluster be compatiable with replication? If i failover in a windows cluster, will replication break? I dont have an envrionment i can test this in.

What are the issues you are having with replication distribution server?
Please note that clustering is a high availability solution. Not a high performance solution.
If the issues are related performance, clustering may not solve them.

we are not having problems. but i have been screaming for some form of a redundancy solution for our main sql servers and we'v been given a nice chunk of budget, so someone suggested redundancy for the Replication distributor also, as a lot of apps rely on the data we replicate and resynchronization takes 15+ hours.
So, if the dist server goes down, i am wondering, if its in a cluster and the cluster fails over, will it have any detremental effect on replication ( performance, need resync etc etc) or will replication continue as it is right now, before the failover?
