This is a little off topic, but I think this may reach my intended audience who may be able to offer some solutions. We run a small web hosting company, and have a full T1 for our main connection source. We generally have very little downtime, and our hosting clients have come to appreciate that. For the second time in 2 months, however, a major fiber line was cut and we had no phones or T1 for over 8 hours. I've gotten a cable-based "backup" connection and I'm trying to decide the best possible way to implement it as a backup for when the T1 goes down again. I only want to use the cable-based solution when the T1 goes down; no load-balancing is needed.... I have a firewall in place and use NAT/reverse proxy so that sites will come up from either (T1 or cable) Internet IP.....
Has anyone had experience or could someone recommend a solution that would handle DNS ? For example, when our T1 is up and functioning, DNS points to our T1-based IP's. When the T1 goes down, DNS gets pointed to our cable-based IP's. I realize the TTL would have to be set low, but how low is too low? Again, sorry for the OT subject - any info will be sincerely appreciated. --Bill [EMAIL PROTECTED] To Unsubscribe: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/mailing-lists.html List Archive: http://www.mail-archive.com/imail_forum%40list.ipswitch.com/ Knowledge Base/FAQ: http://www.ipswitch.com/support/IMail/
