Search Again: How to do primary and alternate ip addresses for a server? From: Robert J. Woodhead (AnimEigo) Date: Sunday, May 6, 2001 Time: 6:06:41 pm I have a server whose dns is 1.2.3.4 (for example). 99.44% of the time, when 1.2.3.4 is reachable, I want people to access the server at that IP address. The other .56% of the time, I'd like them to use the alternate IP address 9.8.7.6. How do I go about configuring DNS for this. The actual situation is this. I have two data links into the office; a wireless point-2-point connection (primary) and a DSL line (secondary). The router for the p2p connection is a nice linux box, and we think we can config it so that it masquerades IP and translates incoming requests on the DSL line to the actual IP addresses inside the office (and again on the way out). So each machine will have 2 ip addresses to the outside world.
