IIS6 Clustering

Hope someone can help with the following Windows 2003 clustering issue I have....

Would like to create the following cluster:

2 Node Cluster (almost identical), Servers both on the HCL list
same network segment
no shared data
each running same IIS content
underlying Oracle database (one in standby mode)
Oracle is handling replication of data

I would like to create failover cluster in 2003 and from what I have read so far (and the little that the Microsoft site gives away), I need to create Majority Node Set cluster (since there is no shared data and the Quorum is held locally on each server).

So my questions are:

Is what I am trying to achieve possible?
Can anyone provide links\info \books relevant to my proposal?
Is there a workaround (or am I forced to use Windows 2000 instead, since this includes an IIS instance for clustering)?

Any help\advice gratefully received, thanks in advance.
