Hi everyone.<br />
<br />
We currently use a self-hosted [in-house] Microsoft Lync solution for VOIP with 4 Microsoft servers. Meaning, we have this in-house on our KVM cluster.<br />
External dns records are at our registrar, and resolve to wan rout able external ip addreses of which are further NAT's to the internal addresses via our Sonicwall using Comcast.<br />
<br />
We are getting another ATT line, with 5 more rout-able IP addresses, and want to set up DNS fail over for INBOUND connections to the servers above, should one internet line go down. I know outbound is possible, we use it now, I'm talking about Inbound only.<br />
<br />
My question is, does Amazon Route 53 support DNS failover, for a self-hosted connection, and not just for whats in the &nbsp;VPC.<br />
<br />
My alternative is to implement one of several hardware solutions which addres this issue.<br />

INBOUND  DNS failover with AWS Route 53

The Domain Name System (DNS) is a hierarchical, globally distributed system responsible for associating the name of a computer, service or other resource into an IP address for connecting to the Internet or a private network. Most prominently, it translates domain names to the numerical IP addresses needed for the purpose of computer services and devices worldwide.

Amazon Web Services (AWS), is a collection of remote computing services, also called web services, that make up a cloud-computing platform  operated from 11 geographical regions across the world. The most central and well-known of these services include Amazon Elastic Compute Cloud, also known as "EC2", and Amazon Simple Storage Service, also known as "S3". Other services include Elastic MapReduce (EMR), Route 53 (a DNS web service),  provides a highly available and scalable Domain Name System (DNS) web service, Virtual Private Cloud (VPC), storage, database, deployment and application services.
