We'd like to offer clients geographically dispersed hosting; there's a call for it since September 11th showed everyone of the hazards of hosting at only one location. But I don't think we can rely on short TTL; too many large ISPs seem to ignore it . Is there a way to handle high-availability strictly in DNS? Thanks.
