Also, third party DNS providers such as this one: http://www.ultradns.com/services/sitebacker.cfm provide you with an easy to use and easy to manage method of reducing downtime.
However, if you really need 100% uptime, I highly suggest getting the help of a qualified sysadmin that you trust and then make these decisions together. |
Exact. All previous answers were non relevant.
Round Robin, setup NS on both machines and add an " exterior " NS such as above or zoneedit.com.
To make it even better, get the second server in another geographical location, as Europe ... and no, I don't offer servers there ... at least yet.
Good luck.
