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

Help?
All redirects have place on the server side of the main web site. I believe that if server is down that action can't be proceed. Also you can add another DNS servers for another web host and in this case that will work without server (main site is hosted on)
