Consider also an external appliance to do the failover. We use a Cisco Content Switch that sits outside the zSeries equipment so it can still administer the site if we need to bring down z/VM or the hardware for maintenance. For example, site 1 gets all the traffic unless it fails, at which time site 2 starts getting the traffic. If site 2 goes away too, site 3 is its backup, and is an Intel box with a single web page saying "Sorry, we're offline for a few minutes". When site 1 comes back, it starts getting all the traffic again.
