[FW1] distant redundant Internet access

["Philippe Oechslin" <philippe.oechslin@FW1-NOSPAMnetexpert.ch>]

I have two Internet accesses in two buildings using two ISPs. The buildings are
connected by a fiber.

In each building I have a FW-1 with a DMZ comprising HTTP, FTP, SMTP proxies and
an external router connected to one ISP.

By default, users of one building use the Internet access provided in their
building.

- Is there any standard way to have all trafic redirected if any of the elements
in one building fails?

- Any good documentation on building redundant systems other that with cluster
solutions like CP High Availability of StoneBeat where (these solutions need the
machines to be in the same location and use the same IP/MAC addresses)?

- note that the redirection mechanism may be different for an ISP failure than a
proxy failure.

I am sure that this has been done before, I am grateful for any pointers.

  cheers,

   Philippe Oechslin
