I'm not really involved with Gna! much, but I thought I'd offer a thought (or 
two <g>).

If you have access to the master content DNS server for gna.org., how about 
doing a round-robin-emergency type thing?  I.e., if after 10-15/whatever 
number of minutes the main server/servers aren't accessible/pingable, change 
the ip address (or change records to CNAME's and change the CNAME's) of 
www.gna.org and gna.org to the emergency host?

Something like this require's low A record TTL's (like 300 - which is the 
minimum for most conforming DNS servers), but that would be worth it, 
IMO. :-)

/me's 0.2 pense. :-)

Wbr,
Elfyn
