Webmaster Forum - View Single Post - How to redirect to another server if one goes down

Hello, I need to set up DNS or whatever it is that does this, to redirect exampleurl.com to a different IP address if the primary is not available. Recently one of my ISP's had a long power outage and my web site, email, message boards were not accessible for over 5 hours.

It would be nice if something detected this and forwarded visitors to another server on a working IP.

Help?
