I dont know if it is possible, but here goes. First my server layout. Server 1 --------------- * Primary DNS * Mail * Web Server Server 2 --------------- * Secondary DNS Right, what I would like is that if server one goes down, it will redirect web trafic to Server 2, displaying a "This site is temporarily offline" page. Is this possible, and could someone help me to get it right. And could Server 2 display an error page according to the specific website that the "user" is visiting ? Thanks for the help. Ian Barnes
