High Availability in Active Directory and Internet.

Good afternoon I need to support the following:
I have 2 sites, each site has installed a RODC and Internet Backup

1) how I should configure the servers so that when the link is cut (1 or ShutDown ShutDown) can still have control of my active directory and users can connect to the network for 802.1x
2) how I should configure DNS so you can surf the internet for backup

waiting for your comments

best regards

You would use failover at your firewall to support multiple internet connections.  SonicWALLs do a very good job at this and are easy to configure.  If your firewall does not support failover you can use a regular load balancer.  I've used this one in the past and it will even fail over DNS records so inbound connections aren't broken.

Make sure you point the primary DNS of the clients to the DNS server (ADC/RODC) located at that site.
