You could get a dedicated Internet routable IP, and use NAT @ both ISP's, the routers would pick up this Change after the first ISP goes down. This idea will require that you have some control over your extenal Border DNS servers & routers.

Company A has 3 branches and each branch has 1 Network sensor and 1 server sensor. All the branches' IDSs are connected to the RS Consoel which situated at the HQ. The branch connect to HQ through internet. Thus, IDS management are done thru the HQ using the internet line. The internet line from the HQ to internet is not reliable and always down. Thus, the IDS can't send the event to the console. So, company A plan to get another ISP for the failover. The question is, can this idea work? Coz the IDS reporting to the console based on the Console IP address. So, if the first ISP is down, switching to 2nd ISP would not provide failover because the IP address assigned by two ISP is difference. Any idea guyz?
