So can I do away with the static ip and just use dynamic instead since I would use the dynDNS anyway?
Thanks for the info, that does make sense to me so far. :)

Browse All TopicsHi,
I've got a customer with a web server that they'd like to put online at their house.
They also have a domain name for the web server.
How can I setup failover protection/load balancing with a dsl and cable internet connection? What I'm not sure about is how to setup the domain name to point to 2 different static ip address for the server.
I want the web server to stay up and have people able to connect even if the dsl line goes down.....or the cable line goes down.
Thanks for any help.

You need several things:
If you have a firewall router (zywall USG f.e. ) with two WAN interfaces in failover mode.
You need a DYNdns name to point to the active link (Zywall can do that for you)
Their domain name needs to be a CNAME to the DYNdns name
Then the Domain name will allways refer to the active link within minutes.
