Search Again: Re: Best way to share multiple links to the net? From: Ryan Salazar Date: Wednesday, March 12, 2003 Time: 4:52:06 pm Hey!, I've done a very similar setup to what you're talking about. Every time one goes down it seems that the other just keeps rockin' and the site keeps going. I've never gone to the site when a connection goes down and not been able to get to it. So, I would say...yes..DNS handles that for you.
