Talk to your upstream ISP - or both, if you have the lines going to different places (which would be sensible). You will be upgrading yourself from a 'normal' internet user to an Autonomous System, and there is a reasonable tricky set of things you have to do (like apply for an AS number, and set up border routing) that you will need an network expert to do for you.
If you're just backing up a home system, and you don't need your external IP address to be too static, just do things the easy way, allow your IP address to change, and get yourself registered with dyndns.com or something similar. -jim On Fri, Nov 08, 2002 at 11:24:56PM +1300, Johnno wrote: > Hello All, > > At the moment the servers I ran has only one pipline to the net, Now I am > looking at adding other one as a backup.. > > How do I go about make the second as a backup so if the first goes down the > second will take over?? > > Then when the first one goes back online that will be used putting the > second back into backup > > will our ip addresses work with both feeds? > > Thanks, > Johnno > >
