[Fedora] Re: Failover setup

[Ferguson, Michael]

The earlier situation I described is what I have setup and it works just
fine for me.
I can remote in on either and make a DNS change and tell them to restart
their computer and it will get the new default gateway. That's it.

    There in lies the problem: they won't call to tell me it's down.  
They'll just sit there and complain or wonder and wait till *I* come in to
figure it out.  And let's say they do call...do you honestly think I'm going
to wake up at 4 in the morning, drive down to the building to swap a
machine?  Would you?  :)
