And for home (/homeworker) networks ... eg I have a NAT box with a
default connection to my ADSL provider and an automatic failover to 3G
(completely separate supplier).
Almost everything inside my network doesn't notice when it switches
over.
Now, if only I could get it to automatically revert to ADSL when it
reappears - I wouldn't have to worry so much about the 3G bill.
