Personally, I think this is best done via a dyndns type service, i.e map
www.yourname.com to your dynamic ip (costs about $25 per year), if ISP 1
does, dial/ADSL into ISP 2, update the address, and the DNS change is almost
instant since the dyndns servers are your real dns servers.

An interesting question has been raised within our LUG (NoosaLUG).

Is it possible to set up a failover box serving web and mail on a second
ISP?  In other words, if the first ISP goes off the air or the co-hosted box
fails, web page serving will default to the second ISP and co-hosted box.

If it is possible, how does one go about setting this up?

Regards,

Rick Phillips
