Question
PNWDweller
This is sort of a easy question if you know what to do, but since I am not sure, I wanted to ask here since someone might know. :)
I am hosting a VPS right now with a company that the last couple of weeks has had some down time which was not their fault. Basically, their Data Center kicked them offline due DOS attack on one of their clients. This forced them to have to relocate with another Data Center which for their needs, they found across the country from them and shipped the servers there. This caused 5 days of downtime for a couple of my sites and the rest were online due to their customer service letting me use a different server which was shared on a different DC but was for small traffic.
Currently, they are still experencing some bad luck right now with their server and new DC. Downtime has been very sporatic this last week but Uptime has thankfully been very snappy and good in the mean time.
I want to know what I would need to do to point a domain to two different servers using my main host now as the master, but if it is down, then move on to the next server. I have tried pointing domains to 4 diffent Name Servers, with the first two being mine at the host and then #3 and #4 being a different hosting company/server, but no matter what - if Server A is down, it doesn't roll over to Server B. So, I am almost 100% certain that is wrong.
I want to keep my sites up and at least running while they get the 'bugs' worked out with the new DC and am willing to wait a bit since I can't find any better value and customer service combined with them. :)
