Re: [bitfolk] Any interest in fail-over IPs?

Hello, If you have two VPSes, it's relatively simple to have an IP address that flips between them. So say for example you have vps-a on IP 212.13.194.32 and vps-b on 212.13.195.43, and you also have a third IP address 212.13.195.20 that starts off routed to vps-a. You put a web server listening on 212.13.195.20 which hosts some important pictures of your cat which require high availability. Some mishap befalls your vps-a, like your web server dies or the actual hardware it's on dies or something. vps-b notices that vps-a isn't responding any more and so does something to flip 212.13.195.20 over to itself and continue serving your cat gallery with many 9's of availability. None of your cat's admirers notice that one of your VPSes died. Right now if you buy two VPSes you can already do all of that except flip the IP address over between them. You need BitFolk's help to flip an IP address from one VPS to another because normally you can't ARP for an IP address you don't have routed to you. If you did bring up 212.13.195.20 on vps-b, all the packets would still end up going to vps-a. We can make it so that you can do something to flip that IP to one of your other VPSes. You take care of all the other details. There would most likely be no charge for this beyond you having to have two VPSes. Is there any interest?
