> A simple, expensive and inelegant solution would be to have two
machines, both with the same IP address, one connected to your LAN, the
other on standby (physically disconnected from your network). If you have
problems, unplug one and plug in the other...(Im sure there are other far
more elegant solutions)
Some guys in Hong Kong Digital did a Highly Available
Proxy setup with shared disks, automatic failover
facility for some big company in Hong Kong. A HA
proxy is possible. A DNS round robin can be use to
"load balance" the two servers.
But I think a more elegant solution will be to use ICP
as a heart beat between servers, and use ICP to fail
over proxy services.
