Ahhh.  Your experience is different than mine.  I find Internet
connections go up and down a lot more than the hardware that's
connecting them to the local network and it's just dealing with the
routing changes of those connections going up and down I want to deal
with.

Heh.  Nice.  A bit overkill for my home situation though.  :-)

But you first have to solve my basic problem: adjusting to Internet
connections going up and down on a single box before you can start to
roll that out to multiple boxes -- to deal with hardware failures.
