DNS with a short TTL for that host they need to reach. Configure the kiosks
with the hostname rather than an IP address. If host one goes down, change
the DNS entry (needs to be done manually), and you'll be back up soon.

Subject: OT: Failover and Redundancy
Any thoughts on the following question from a associate ?
Issue: A number of Kiosks stations out in the field need to send data back
to Home Office servers. The Kiosks stations are configured to communicate
with 1 IP address. The Home Office needs to be configured with two different
ISP, 2 routers, 2 switches, and 2 servers for redundancy. 5 months down the
line, another site in a different physical location will be constructed for
site-to-site failover.
Question: What is the best way to design this type of network, where the
Kiosks stations are only configured to communicate with 1 IP? What type of
options do I have?
