There are different ways one goes down. Last winter it happened that I couldn't connect to some sites in the USA. Traceroutes were getting lost somewhere in seabone.net, if I remember well. It lasted nearly one week. During that period, I was able to receive mail whose replies were being deferred. I even received a message informing me that my web site was down. The magic comes if the secondary is on a differently connected network. Yes, it doesn't happen routinely: it is for those times when it happens.
