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.
