Incoming is not that simple as you do not have control over routing
tables on the Internet.

To illustrate, suppose www.domain.com resolves to xx.xxx.xx.xxx and this
IP belongs to Satyam. In case Satyam link goes down, it is not possible
to tell all the routers on the Internet that the Satyam backbone is dead
and that all traffic should be routed via the Net4India backbone to
reach xxx.xx.xxx.xxx.

To have true ISP like load balancing / failover, you need to be running
a routing protocol. If both your ISPs are able to advertise your network
routes, then its possible.

The last time we checked for something like this, the ISP (one of the
ISPs was Net4India btw), were totally non cooperative and insisted that
we had our own class C subnet of our own.

The cheapest solution is to co-locate your server at VSNL and havethanm
handle the failover at the ISP level.

There are lots of ISP net admins on this list, hopefully they would be
able to shed more light on this matter.
