The ARP based solution is particularly well suited to
services which
act as a relay. Proxies and SMTP relays fall into this
category and the users should not be able to tell when
the backup server is in operation.
With this in mind other complimentary methods of creating
redundant servers
have been investigated. The use of some sort of
TCP/IP switch on servers, backup or otherwise, would
allow a more powerful backup scheme to be developed
as content could still be sourced from servers
where it is still available.
