I have a client whom I host on my server that insists on virtually 100% uptime for his website. While 100% might be stretching it a bit, how is this best done? Is it a combination of software and DNS? I know some sites run mirrors, but that usually involves clicking a link to go to that specific mirror. Is it possible to have this be transparent, so that if person visiting the site fails to connect to the primary webserver (because it is down), then he/she is automatically switched to a backup mirror? I actually have two separate boxes with different IP's, both running Debian and Apache 1.3. The client's website is on one box and the other box could be used if needed. Thanks, Kevin --
