I was planning to have some sort of data replication between the main site and the DR site. The fail over is not going to be a stateful in terms of the current client connections.

You need to clearly define what you mean by DR, and make sure that your bosses agree with the scope of DR you're providing. From what you're saying here, it seems you're only talking about network level DR. DR that's prepared to cope with total failure of the site is often what bosses tend to think of when they say DR, and there's a lot more than the network involved in that (e.g. the services you're talking about are all either explictly stateful, or have the capability to be implicitly stateful, and your DR plan has to have a story for how you manage the state).
