[manchesterwireless] Anyone still active?

[Ewan Leith]

Hi Andy, I'm still around, not sure who else is though :)

The least hassle way of doing a failover would probably be build a
list of "heart-beat" ip addresses on the internet, and have the main
router do a loop of ping tests.

if the pings failed for 30 minutes, then it could execute a script to
redo your network settings to point to the other adsl router and
re-run the test. if that also failed, at that point you'd probably
want to fail back to the original settings, so you didn't have a
messed up router sat there dead in the water...
