Hi John, We did DNS fail over at the previous company I work for -- DynIP. They provide a service that monitors your connection. If you have a site outage DynIP will detect that your connection is down and will change your A/CNAME and even MX records to point to somewhere else. This works relatively well and is used by a number of large companies. There are a few draw backs however: 1. There is a 1-5 minute delay before your DNS entries are actually changed to ensure that you are really offline (just in case it was a hick up) 2. DNS caching. If someone visited your site before the outage they may have your old IP address cached for several minutes and in extreme cases hours. If you're interested in learning more about this visit their site: www.dynip.com. They don't aggressively advertise the fail over feature on the site so give them a call. Ask for Mark Bisson or David Grant and tell them Milan sent you. =) Hope this helps.
