If one wants to provide a web page that is always available,
what mechanisms are available to create this redundant capability?
I know about round-robin DNS that gives a new address from a pool
of servers, but caching the answer means a client won't ask for a
new address for hours (so for them, the page is down). What other
means of having a redundant web page are there? Thanks for any
suggestions.
