Can anyone tell me step-by-step or point me to a resource that can walk me through setting up a failover for a website. Here is what I am trying to accomplish: (1) If and when server 1 goes down where webpage 1 is located; redirct to Server 2 and land on the backup copy I have created. (2) I want to redirect from one server to another, only, in the event my primary server goes down (3) when the server is back up I want it to automatically redirect to the main server again. **** Based on my research this is possible and I found documentation here: This link here I thought was very close, however, we have IPv6 & not IPv4. Can anyone point me to a document like this one? http://www.google.com/#hl=en&rlz=1R2ADFA_enUS436&sa=X&ei=2Ct6TsCeH-mtsQKN1P27Aw&ved=0CBYQBSgA&q=Create+a+failover+in+IIS+6.0&spell=1&bav=on.2,or.r_gc.r_pw.&fp=b56c7768dbc8db3d&biw=1311&bih=504

You also will have to consider thinking 1 level up at the networking layer, it is possible with devices such as F5's to accomplish this task, or by simply changing you DNS record to point to the second location of your server. You can also accomplish this with wieghted DNS records or round robin on the network routers.:P Advice offered, If you need more help it is advised to seek the council and advice of paid professionals.
